While we're visiting Wales, we'll hang out for a weekend in Caernarfon, a lovely town on the Menai Strait. Caernarfon is best known for its magnificient castle, a legacy left by King Edward I during his campaign to subdue the Welsh (Cymry). Edward's men are long gone, and the town is left with unique architecture, interesting shops, and a plethora of pubs and restaurants that cook up mouth-watering treats such as Welsh cakes (a favorite of mine!).

Caernarfon sits at the entrance to the beautiful Llyn Peninsula and is a gateway to the western edge of Snowdonia National Park. It's not a rip-roaring party town; it's a peaceful spot, convenient to everywhere, where one can catch their breath and enjoy walks along quiet lanes and nature trails.
