4K | Porthmadog to Caernarfon | Gwynedd | Wales, Great Britain (UK) | 2021 | #44

Starting on Porthmadog high street we then join the A487 to Caernarfon. We encounter a wide load, fog & morning traffic.
Porthmadog known before 1974 in an anglicised Portmadoc form and locally as "Port", is a Welsh coastal town and community in the Eifionydd area of Gwynedd and the historic county of Caernarfonshire. It lies 5 miles (8 km) east of Criccieth, 11 miles (18 km) south-west of Blaenau Ffestiniog, 25 miles (40 km) north of Dolgellau and 20 miles (32 km) south of Caernarfon. The community population of 4,185 in the 2011 census was put at 4,134 in 2019. It grew in the 19th century as a port for local slate, but as the trade declined, it continued as a shopping and tourism centre, being close to Snowdonia National Park and the Ffestiniog Railway. The 1987 National Eisteddfod was held there. It includes nearby Borth-y-Gest, Morfa Bychan and Tremadog.
Caernarfon is a royal town, community, and port in Gwynedd, Wales, with a population of 9,852 (with Caeathro). It lies along the A487 road, on the eastern shore of the Menai Strait, opposite the Isle of Anglesey. The city of Bangor is 8.6 miles (13.8 km) to the north-east, while Snowdonia fringes Caernarfon to the east and south-east. Carnarvon and Caernarvon are Anglicised spellings that were superseded in 1926 and 1974 respectively.

Thank you so much for the trip videos from Wales. It's a place I've long wanted to visit & spend some time, but will not likely be able to, so travel videos are the closest I'll get. It's nice to be able to see & make more real places that were only names on a map. I especially enjoyed the snippet of Penygroes as we passed, because I have a friend whose son lives there. Would love to see this trip on a sunny day in spring or summer, but quite beautiful here as well. Hope you'll do more! Diolch o'r galon!
