Caernarfon has long been of strategic importance. The Castle, birth place of Edward II, dates from the thirteenth century. It lies on the river guarding the entrance to the Menai Straits that separate Anglesey from the town of Caernarfon and mainland north Wales.

The town was a thriving port, being used for the export of Welsh slate with the area behind the town providing valuable agricultural land.
