This is a great little museum that you can visit part of your visit to the Castle. The selection of medals on show is stunning with several Victoria Crosses. Well worth a visit.

An absoloutley stunning collection and display, cleverly and lovingly curated and placed in the castle. One of the French imperial eagles is held here, captured at Martinique. Amazing historical content in Welsh and English. Things to keep the kids entertained also with replica uniforms for the kids to try on. Truely amazing museum and worth visit this alone, but the fact it is included in the castle makes it well worth it.

Fantastic museum with a wealth of information and too much to take in. You could spend days reading about the fusiliers history. Really interesting.

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. It’s worth the effort and I recommend to people to take a special time to visit. It’s on three floors in the castle not big at all but definitely interesting. See some of the pictures. The entrance is nearly £ 10 per person for all heritage( with the castle) Parking space in the back of the castle £4/ day or 2 h free if you are lucky in front of the castle.

A great bonus we stumbled across when visiting Caernarfon Castle. If you are interested in military history, you will find this museum fascinating. It plots the development of the fusiliers from its inception through to modern times. My kids asked questions about their mascot for days.

Part of Caernarfon Castle, it is full of medals and some other military items. The only issue is the stairs. Due to covid it's a one way system meaning to get to it, you go via several ancient spiral staircases

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 this museum.

Housed within the walls of Canarfeon Castle, this is a smart modern museum explaining the history of this famous regiment. Great displays, weapons, uniforms, medals and the regimental goat. Well worth looking at while you are at the castle.
