If you are in Caernarfon and looking for some hearty and traditional fare after spending your day traipsing through the beautiful and dramatic landscapes of the Snowdonia National Park, you can do no wrong with Seiont Manor, located about three miles outside of the royal town.
You can enjoy a traditional afternoon tea if that’s what you’re after, with a selection of dainty sandwiches, handmade cakes and pastries, speciality teas and, of course, a beautiful scone or two.
If you want to make the most of the views while eating in a slightly less formal manner, then you’ll want to dine in the Conservatory. Expect fresh pasta dishes, gourmet burgers and delicious desserts.
Fancy heading a little upmarket? Then we’d suggest plumping for the Llwyn y Brain Dining Room, where you can enjoy such delights as braised pork belly with scallops and sage reduction, duck breast with savoy cabbage and chocolate sauce, or rosemary gnocchi with a side of ratatouille.
Desserts are where the Dining Room really shines, however, with a pistachio and orange cake with a citrus sorbet and the study of peach being among the best. Or of course, you could opt for the Welsh cheese board – delicious!

Caernarfon Castle
Probably the most famous of all the many castles in Wales, and for good reason – its sheer scale dwarfs the others, and the town walls are still remarkably intact. Tourists can walk along a small part of the walls, which offers some fantastic views over the town. Also houses the museum of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers.
Caernarfon
Caernarfon is known for one thing more than anything else: its mighty castle. This immense fortress dates back to the end of the 13th century – King Edward I of England had begun his Welsh conquest, taking the town of Caernarfon in 1283. The pre-existing motte and bailey structure was demolished under his instruction, and in its place began work on the impressive stone structure we know today.
Betws-y-Coed
The most popular inland resort in North Wales, partly due to its convenience as a location but mostly thanks to its beauty and splendour. A lot of the village dates back to the Victorians, and their influence still abounds in the buildings. Surrounded by the dense forestry and imposing mountains of the region, Betws-y-Coed feels pleasantly out of the way.
