This is a local history site I run which covers all aspects of life in the Welsh town of Caernarfon, or to use the old spellings, Carnarvon & Caernarvon.
Situated in North West Wales, Caernarfon was at one time a seaport of some repute, exporting slate all over the world, and its mariners were well-known for their seacraft. Since the early 20th Century the export of slate has been consigned to the history books and the town has become reliant on the tourist trade, the town's main selling point being its mediaeval castle, built by Edward I, and the Segontium Roman fort.
The website is updated on a fairly irregular basis, but there is plenty of goodies for local and family historians to be found there. To get to the site, click on the link below:
