Caernarfon is a royal town, community, and port in Gwynedd, Wales. Caernarfon lies along the A487 road, on the eastern shore of the Menai Strait, opposite the Isle of Anglesey. The city of Bangor is 8.6 miles (13.8 km) to the north-east, while Snowdonia fringes Caernarfon to the east and south-east. Carnarvon and Caernarvon are Anglicised spellings that were superseded in 1926 and 1974, respectively. The villages of Bontnewydd and Caeathro are close by.
In the 13th century, Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, ruler of Gwynedd, refused to pay homage to Edward I of England, prompting the English conquest of Gwynedd. This was followed by the construction of Caernarfon Castle, one of the largest and most imposing fortifications built by the English in Wales. In 1284, the English-style county of Caernarfonshire was established by the Statute of Rhuddlan; the same year, Caernarfon was made a borough, a county and market town, and the seat of English government in North Wales.
The ascent of the House of Tudor to the throne of England eased hostilities between the English and resulted in Caernarfon Castle falling into a state of disrepair. The city has flourished, leading to its status as a major tourist centre and seat of Gwynedd Council, with a thriving harbour and marina. Caernarfon has expanded beyond its medieval walls and experienced heavy suburbanisation. Its population includes the largest percentage of Welsh-speaking citizens anywhere in Wales. The status of Royal Borough was granted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1963 and amended to Royal Town in 1974. The castle and town walls are part of a World Heritage Site described as the Castles and Town Walls of King Edward in Gwynedd.
Caernarfon is situated on the southern bank of the Menai Strait facing the Isle of Anglesey. It is situated 8.6 miles (13.8 km) south-west of Bangor, 19.4 miles (31.2 km) north of Porthmadog and approximately 8.0 miles (12.9 km) west of Llanberis and Snowdonia National Park. Caernarfon was at one time an important port, exporting slate from the Dyffryn Nantlle quarries. A temporary Caernarfon railway station in St. Helen's Road is the northern terminus of the narrow gauge Rheilffordd Eryri / Welsh Highland Railway. Work began on a permanent station for the town in February 2017. The new station is expected to be open to passengers in Spring 2018. Caernarfon Airport is 4.5 miles (7.2 km) to the south west, and offers pleasure flights and an aviation museum.

RAF Llandwrog Part 2. Now Caernarfon Airport - Filmed Sept 2014
RAF Llandwrog opened in January 1941 with 9 AGS (No.9 Air Gunnery School) flying Whitleys & Ansons until June 1942 when it became a satellite to 9 OAFU (No. 9 Observers Advanced Flying Unit) RAF Penrhos but roles were later reversed. Flying mainly Ansons throughout the war many Air Observers learned their trade here, though with the Snowdon Mountain range just a few miles away they needed to be accurate, sadly & often due to the weather quite a few weren't. The RAF eventually left in about 1956. Perhaps less well known in 1946, No. 277 MU (Maintenance Unit) was tasked with storing, then disposing of 9000 tons of WW 2 German Army chemical weapons (Operation Sandcastle) which were later taking out by ship & scuttled off Rockall in the Atlantic. Also due to the many high-ground crashes of their aircraft, RAF Landwrog was the birth place of the RAF Mountain Rescue Service which continues today. An excellent book 'The Legend of Llandwrog' by Edward Doylerush was published in 1994 by Midland Counties Publications if further information is sought.
