Snowdonia

Caernarfon Castle is well worth a visit. Kids in particular will love it; the castles walls are huge and there are fascinating secret passages hidden deep within them. And don’t miss the Royal Welch Fusiliers Museum, which you’ll find in two of the castle’s towers!

Conwy Castle is such a scenic castle, and it’s worth walking the town walls too. With a backdrop it’ll be hard to turn away from, those keen to find out more about the castle’s history will find plenty of interesting facts and information boards inside.
