Question of the week: Could you recommend a weekend break destination in the UK? "Caernarfon: You say that you've never heard of Caernarfon? Well, you're probably not alone. But this town in North Wales is very pretty, very friendly and very worth visiting.
Situated in one of the Welsh-speaking parts of Wales, Caernarfon has one of the biggest and best preserved castles in Wales, a nearly complete town wall, and access to some of the most striking scenery in all of Britain - Snowdonia National Park is just a stone's throw away and Anglesey is just across the Menai Straight.
Besides for the castle (which is certainly worth a visit), a trip on the Welsh Highland Railway into Snowdonia or a boat cruise around the Menai Straight are great activities. When we went, we took the train to Bangor and a taxi to Caernarfon, but there is a good bus service throughout North Wales."- Kris
