Driving and arriving at Caernarfon castle. You spend miles winding through this lush, peaceful farmland full of sheep, and the roads get narrower and narrower as you approach the town. Then, without warning, you turn a corner and there it is—this absolute gorgeous castle. Wales may be a small country, but the sheer “uncalibrated” weight of history in every square mile is staggering. Seeing that massive fortress standing as a living testament to centuries of conflict and power, tucked right into the middle of everyday life, was a powerful reminder of how much human history is packed into this landscape.
