Caernarfon East

Caernarfon East covers the eastern side of Caernarfon, sitting where the River Seiont runs into the harbour on Gwynedd's north coast. The ward includes stretches of the town centre and quay, with rows of stone-fronted shops and a harbour wall where small working boats tie up. Narrow streets open onto the market area and to a riverside path that follows the Seiont. Built features from different centuries sit close together: merchant buildings, terraced housing and pockets of later estate development form a compact urban pattern focused on the waterfront and High Street.

Community life in Caernarfon East revolves around local services, schools and regular services on the main road that links the town to the rest of Gwynedd. Welsh is commonly heard in shops, schools and at council meetings, reflected in local signage and notices. A short walk from the heart of the ward brings you to a preserved narrow-gauge station and the quay, where weekend steam services and harbour activity intersect with everyday errands and community events.
