Oriel Llun Mewn Ffrâm

The Welsh name translates to 'Picture Frame in Light', which gives you a fair idea of what to expect here in Caernarfon. This is a contemporary gallery space that takes its art seriously - no twee tourist trap, but a proper exhibition venue for painters, photographers and mixed media work. The changing displays mean it's never quite the same visit twice, which is either brilliant or a bit of a gamble depending on what's on when you go.

You're looking at maybe an hour here if you're taking time over the pieces. It's not enormous, so don't expect to spend a whole afternoon unless there's something particularly gripping on the walls. The light quality is genuinely lovely - the name isn't just marketing - which makes a real difference to how you experience the work.

This suits art enthusiasts far more than families with restless kids, though quiet teenagers with actual interest in visual stuff won't find it tedious. Given the proximity to Caernarfon's castle and the town's waterfront, it works well as part of a cultural morning rather than as a standalone reason to visit the area.

Staying at one of the nearby caravan parks - Dinlle is barely three miles out - gives you a base to explore both the town proper and the Llŷn Peninsula beyond. Opening times and admission fees aren't yet confirmed online, so ring ahead before you go. It's the sort of place worth checking up on, because a closed gallery is nobody's idea of a good afternoon.
