Segontium Roman Fort
Recommended by
Overview
Remains of an auxiliary Roman fort, founded by Agricola in the 70s AD. It was only abandoned when the Romans left Britain in the late 4th century. At the height of its strength, the fort would have held up to 1,000 auxiliary troops, and was connected by road to Chester, another major Roman power centre.

About the area
The county of Gwynedd is home to most of the Snowdonia National Park – including the wettest spot in Britain, an arête running up to Snowdon’s summit that receives an average annual rainfall of 4,473mm. With its mighty peaks, rivers and strong Welsh heritage (it has the highest proportion of Welsh-speakers in all of Wales), it’s always been an extremely popular place to visit and live.
