Segontium Roman Fort/ Caer Rufeinig Segontium

Quite a good site, quite big as well, you may have to do some research on it, as people said the museum was shut but you just walk around the back to it, found it very interesting but I do like Roman remains, you need to have imagination, but I thought there was plenty of remains for you to get a good idea of it

I had a 2 weeks holiday in Wales in 2019 and wanted to visit this place on the day when I visited the castle, too. So I parked next to the castle, and after visiting that, I walked uphill on the streets to find the roman fort. I could not find any opening hours anywhere - Google map, Tripadvisor or Visit-Wales website, was not stated any hours. It was a Saturday about 1pm, and I found the place closed. Even on the gate there was not a sign showing opening times just a big padlock. Only a notice not to climb on the monument, but the gate was locked otherwise. I just walked near the fence a few minutes trying to find someone on the ground, and met on the street another disappointed visitor, so we shared our frustration about the lack of the opening times anywhere. In the meantime - which was just 2 minutes maybe - we have seen a man with his 8-10 years old son climb over the fence and go into the ground... No Comment. Maybe this was the way to get in???
Very disappointing visit, and that I walked a lot uphill to find the big nothing. At least on Google map should be stated the opening hours.
Hopefully it has been changed since then, otherwise no point to visit.

Caernarfon and the people that run this site don't make the most of the history here.
The site is open to go into, and free. The shop and building attached was un staffed when we visited. Missing some of the great history here, information boards around the site could help.

Really well maintained and free access if you go around the back of the small building. Just one information board hence the loss of one star, otherwise what a great place. A great place to gather pine cones too.

Not much to see and unfortunately the visitor centre is only open twice a month, so there is not much to read/find out about the place. But you get a great view over Caernarfon and Snowdonia from here and the size of the ruin is impressive. If you're driving past anyway, it's worth a quick stop.

It's a shame that the museum was closed but you can still walk around to the back where the ruins are. Theres a lot of base bricks in the shape of where the walls of the buildings would have been so bring your imagination because NO Information is given. 😔😔😔😔😔

Considering this is a free site to visit, this is a huge treasure of heritage, and well worth a visit. This isn't just almost two thousand years old and still very visible, but it's also incredibly important in this region's history. Even folk stories that begin dynasties from which the Princes of Wales begin their origin stories were founded here. The site's quite large, well-maintained, and there are information boards to learn from, too; but you'll be best served by reading some more about this before/after your visit - particularly concerning emperor Macsen.

Roman Fort just outside Caernarfon. Not sure of the facilities on site as the 'house' was shut when we visited. Parking is free on the main road (plenty when we visited) and access via a gate. It was free to visit the ruins. It had one information board but could of done with more to explain what each building was for, if known. Not much of interest for small children.
