The Black Boy Inn
The Black Boy Inn (a listed building circa 1522) is situated within the historic town walls of the Royal borough of Caernarfon,
a market town with an open air market every Saturday (Mondays also in Summer) and is a world heritage site with both Roman and Edwardian history.
The Inn is within easy walking distance to the town centre, and the famous 13th century Castle.
An old Inn dating back to 1522, some of its load bearing walls measure on average 1.2 to 1.5 metres thick ( four to five feet thick,) and with its wooden panelling, low ceilings, and thick wooden
support beams it generates a cosy 'Olde Worlde' atmosphere
Caernarfon is the most welsh speaking town in all of Wales and you will receive a warm welcome in both languages.
The town is ideally suited to explore the beauty of North Wales and is only seven miles from Snowdon, the highest mountain in England and Wales.
All prices start from £30 per person per night and include morning breakfast and VAT.
Attractions
Mighty Caernarfon is possibly the most famous of Wales castles. Its sheer scale and commanding presence easily sets it apart from the rest, and to this day, still trumpet in no uncertain terms the intention of its builder Edward I.
Begun in 1283 as the definitive chapter in his conquest of Wales, Caernarfon was constructed not only as a military stronghold but also as a seat of government and royal palace.
The castle's majestic persona is no architectural accident: it was designed to echo the walls of Constantinople, the imperial power of Rome and the dream castle, 'the fairest that ever man saw', of Welsh myth and legend. After all these years Caernarfon's immense strength remains unchanged.
