I spent a lovely day here in July of 2023. I’ve been wanting to come since I was a kid. This town is where my predecessors came from, sailing to the USA in 1730. At 78, I can only hope to make a return trip some day. Keep up the great walks.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Thanks so much - really enjoyed filming this one!

[@saschacunliffe7383]

A terrific little film. I have so many incredible memories of this place. I holidayed here with my family down the coast as Aberdesach until my final holiday here when I was 19 with my then fiancee. What memories I have of us and our hilarious Jack Russell, Rosie! The town is much the same (I am

I feel something very strong from this castle ! I can feel it meant a lot to the Welsh people !💜💜💜

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Definitely!

[@t.a.k.palfrey3882]

Well, yes it did mean a lot to the Welsh. Back in the 13th century, it meant the subjugation of the Welsh by the Norman kings of England.

@@t.a.k.palfrey3882 Yes,but Welsh fought back real hard & besieged/ recaptured the town & base of the castle & later again. And it was the symbol of their fight . 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞

Fantastic I’m just watching this It’s great I visited here 10 years ago with my son on the West Highland steam railway The station is right near where your video starts I took the same route as you so it brought back many happy memories Unfortunately I wasn’t able to stay long as I had to get picked up by coach I’m looking forward to the rest of your video and will watch it right now 😊

Gimbal Walk TV I was on a package coach holiday called the great little trains of Wales based in Llandudno at the Grand hotel We saw so many amazing places including Port Meriot ( which is well worth a visit I’ve stayed in Llandudno again since as there is so much to see and do around there Keep it up😊

I'm going in June for a few days, cracking video, I know where to go now, pub crawl all worked out, we're staying in the Anglers arms, so very relevant to our trip (wish you'd gone in and had a pint though). Can't wait, I'll no doubt be playing it again soon.

Bridge Keeper Lodge in Caernarfon, Wales This bridge keeper’s lodge is the first thing you encounter after crossing the Aber Swing Bridge from Caernarfon’s center. The Aber Ferry House was constructed in 1822.

[@rogerthornhill2435]

Excellent informative production showing Caernarfon. I like your style which makes the area you are visiting the star of the show and not the person behind the camera. Welsh is the main language, and the Food in the Black Boy takes some beating. Scoops makes some excellent pancakes. It’s good to park on the Victoria dock , have coffee in the gallery and walk past the Marina into town. Looking forward to your next production.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Thank you so much Roger! Some great info there for anyone visiting this amazing place too so thank you!

[@johnwilson7064]

I agree about visiting Conwy and to add to the theme of castles, what about Beaumaris on Anglesey?

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Definitely! Never been hope it's beautiful! Thank you so much for watching my channel I really appreciate it! 👍

[@doreenfawcett9717]

I agree too lovely

[@kenrhos]

All three castles, Caernarfon, Conwy and Beaumaris were commissioned by Edward 1 and built by Master James of St.George. Caernarfon was modelled on the walls of Constantinople.

[@GayorgVonTrapp]

When I was a teenager my father bought a boat from a guy who ran a fish and chip shop in nearby Waunfawr, We moored it in the harbour in front of the castle and over time came to know every boat name and many of the owners. When exiting on a transatlantic voyage somewhere, we had to toot the horn with one long blast followed by two short ones so that the bridge operator would come out of the little house (shown at the start) and open the swing bridge. The balcony you refer to at 13:54 - I have a picture of Charles and Diana standing there waving at the crowds on the occasion of his first visit to Wales with his [new] wife. She was wearing red on that day too! She was beautiful.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Wow I'm jealous - all that sounds fantastic!

[@GayorgVonTrapp]

@@GimbalWalkTV I forgot another little gem - we watched Bucks Fizz win the Eurovision Song Contest on a black and white portable TV hooked up to a 12v car battery whilst sleeping on the boat moored there against the harbour wall.

At the beginning of the video you panned towards The Anglesey pub. Just beyond the pub, within the town wall was the gallows, last used in 1910 to hang William Murphy for murder. As you walked up Castle Ditch, the building to your left with the great big stone pillars were once the Crown court building and jail.

We were in this lovely town in 2017 and will certainly be going back in 2021! Watching your tours makes me very excited to get back to Wales! Have you done a tour of Edinburgh or Stonehaven? Would love to see those through your camera lens. Beaumaris is also very lovely. 👍🏻

[@garethwilliams6452]

Nice one. I was born and bred here before moving to London with my parents. Happiest childhood ever! If you were born in the town,you could go into the castle for free. Imagine having a castle to play in with your mates!? The tiny building in the side of the wall with the footbridge overhead is actually a Greek orthodox church! In Welsh we were called " Cofis" Croeso I chi boi.

I've seen Caernarfon written 17 times in this video, not one time correctly. The walking tour was interesting. I see a lot of changes in the royal town since last I was there in 2001. I was first there in 1950, though was then too young to appreciate it. I was there for then Prince Charles's Investiture in 1969 too. Thanks for the memories, but edit your written commentary a bit better, I suggest.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Thank you for the grammar lesson 🤣 I think the auto correct on the text thing I type with has over-written what I typed

[@t.a.k.palfrey3882]

@@GimbalWalkTV thanks anyway. I agree that Caernarfon is an unique town. The castle is the largest Norman castle in Europe. Just a mile from it is Segontium, the most westerly legionary fort in the Roman Empire.
