From years gone by to the present day, here's our guide to Caernarfon on the web.

Suggested by Phil from Caernarfon.
Caernarfon Online
http://www.caernarfononline.co.uk/
This site has a wealth of interesting information about Caernarfon and is undoubtedly popular with the Cofis. It includes a commendable amount of local news, issues, feedback, old school photos, tourist information and details of many local organisations. However, the useful left hand navigation of the homepage does not follow you on your travels round the site, and we would recommend minimising the Cornel Cymraeg window to stop it from popping up each time you click the home button.
Zanshin Karate
http://www.ZanshinKarate.co.uk
This easy to use site gives lots of info on the classes and instructors of the Caernarfon-based Zanshin Karate club. There's also up-to-date club news and an insight into the founder of Shukokai himself.

This brand new venue is Caernarfon's Victoria Dock. The bilingual website gives details of how Galeri has been funded, and the facilities available, namely a theatre, cinema and art space. There's also a 3D Virtual Walkthrough option if you're keen to see what it looks like. No disabled access details, but there is a phone number to ring if you need to know more.
