Royal Welch Fusiliers Museum — Attraction in Caernarfon

My daughter has been working on her university dissertation on the 38th (Welsh) Division at Mametz Wood during the battle of the Somme. She asked me if we could visit the RWF museum as part of her dissertation research. We mailed the museum in advance to outline the purpose of our visit. The museum replied very promptly with offers of help and we visited on Saturday 22nd April 2023. Keith Jones emailed us in advance, welcoming us and on the day took us on a personal tour of the museum. The tour was fascinating and Keith's knowledge and passion for the museum and the regiment in which he served was plain to see. The museum has plenty of artefacts and many excellent displays which is enhanced by some fascinating audio/visual demonstrations.

Keith was a wonderful host and both my daughter would like to thank him for his welcome and the time he took with us answering any questions we had. His colleagues at the museum were also extremely helpful and friendly.

The museum was a lovely visit and I'd thoroughly recommend it to any visitors and/or people interested in Welsh military history. Many, many thanks- I look forward to visiting again the next time that I'm...

This has got to have been by far the best Regimental Museum I've seen to date! It's housed within Caernarfon Castle and occupies a couple of rooms on various floors.

It documents the Regiments History from it's beginning and displays uniform, weapons and other militaria from the 1700's through to present day.

All displays are in excellent condition and there's sections for the children that involve dressing up in military costumes and colouring etc.

Spoke to one of the curators at the end who was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable. He had served in the Regiment for over 22 years and was a pleasure to speak with.

Highly recommend a visit to...

Very very interesting! Is part of the Caernarfon castle but can be visited separately! We too a lot of pictures and we are grateful for all information and very interesting battles sceneries recreated especially fo us.
