War broke out again between England and Wales on 22 March 1282. The Welsh leader, Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, died later that year on 11 December. His brother Dafydd ap Gruffydd continued to fight against the English, but in 1283 Edward I was victorious.The earliest reference to building at Caernarfon dates from 24 June 1283.
That certainly is one of the largest Castle structures I have ever seen. And it appears to be in great order still after so many centuries...wow.

Nice set. I especially liked the first photo. My wife and I were there last October but we didn't stay long enough to get to the other side of the bay and take that great photo.
