What's new at Caernarfon Castle?
- The largest archaeological investigation at Caernarfon Castle has uncovered clues that will change understanding of the World Heritage Site's early history, experts say. Among the excavation's finds included sherds of 1st century Roman pottery along with tiles and animal bone.
Is Caernarfon a World Heritage Site?
- This fortress-palace on the banks of the River Seiont is grouped with Edward I’s other castles at Conwy, Beaumaris and Harlech as a World Heritage Site. But for sheer scale and architectural drama Caernarfon stands alone. Here Edward and his military architect Master James of St George erected a castle, town walls and a quay all at the same time.
What happened in Caernarfon in 1294?
- 1294 was the most significant rebellion in Caernarfon’s history, but it wasn’t the last. In 1403 and 1404, Owain Glyn Dwr attempted to besiege the castle, again in the name of Welsh nationalism (but this time backed by French forces): he was, however, unsuccessful.
How much did it cost to build Caernarfon?
- But for sheer scale and architectural drama Caernarfon stands alone. Here Edward and his military architect Master James of St George erected a castle, town walls and a quay all at the same time. This gigantic building project eventually took 47 years and cost a staggering £25,000. The castle was born out of bitter war with Welsh princes.
