Caernarfon, a captivating town in Wales, UK, is home to the magnificent Caernarfon Castle. This UNESCO World Heritage Site stands proudly amidst the picturesque landscape of Gwynedd, Wales. As you enter through its grand gates, you are transported back in time to an era of medieval splendor. But Caernarfon's historical significance extends beyond its castle walls. It was here that the Menai Bridge welcomed travelers with open arms, connecting them to new adventures and discoveries. Speaking of discoveries, it was also in this enchanting town that Lord Carnarvon and Howard Carter unearthed the wonders of Tutankhamen's tomb. The name Carnarvon echoes throughout history as Lady Evelyn Herbert joins forces with Carnarvon and Carter on their remarkable expedition. Meanwhile, Tilly Losch finds solace amidst Highclere's child evacuees during trying times. In a different realm altogether lies the Royal Mail steamship Carnarvon Castle from Union Castle Line - a vessel that once sailed across oceans carrying dreams and aspirations. And let us not forget about Prince Charles' investiture ceremony held here – eight reportage photographs capturing this momentous occasion forever etched in our memories. Caernarfon is more than just a place; it is an embodiment of heritage and adventure woven into every stone and story told within its borders.
