The Fortress by the Sea

Welcome 

Fort Belan, Llanwnda, Caernarfon, North Wales LL54 5TP 01286 830 220

Fort Belan guards the entrance to the Menai Strait and looks across the water to Caernarfon Castle and the Isle of Anglesey.  This unique fortress is situated in an unrivalled location on the tip of a little known peninsula.  It is a tranquil retreat set in 40 acres of private land and flanked by miles of sand dunes and nearly deserted beaches.  It is a hidden gem.

Many people have asked who painted this picture of the ‘South gate’ which appears here and also on the cover of the 'The Arts at Fort Belan’ pamphlet. It was painted by Falcon Hildred, artist and industrial archaeologist.Read more about him on the 'Friends of Belan' page
