Caernarfon is probably one of the most literary places in the world – you’re never more than ten metres away from a writer. Pop in to the 16th century Black Boy Inn, so called because of the slavery connections of nearby Penrhyn Estate, where you could be sat next to Eisteddfod Chaired poet Rhys Iorwerth (b.1983) or the National Poet of Wales Ifor ap Glyn (b. 1961). Caernarfon boasts one of Wales’ best bookshops at Palas Print, and its historic waterfront is being revitalised as a home for local food and drink producers, micro-brewers, artisan bakers and artists.
