The Royal Welch Fusiliers Museum sits within two towers of Caernarfon Castle in Gwynedd, Wales, and tells the story of over 300 years of service by Wales' oldest infantry regiment. Original exhibits, film, sound and models reveal how the Regiment won 14 Victoria Crosses, the experiences of First World War writers including Siegfried Sassoon and Robert Graves, and what life was like for ordinary soldiers and their families. It suits visitors with an interest in military and family history, who can also use the museum's enquiry service for research. Set in Caernarfon, this makes a good stop for anyone staying nearby, with Llanfairpwll station 6.3 miles away, Morfa Dinlle beach 4.5 miles away, and 96 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays.
