NEW!!! FORT BELAN SLIDESHOW
.
The AmeriCymru Trail Tour includes a visit to the beautiful and historic Fort Belan.
From the Wikipedia :- "The fort was built in 1775 for a reported cost of 30,000 (3,029,290 as of 2013),by Thomas Wynn, then MP for Caernarfonshire and later to become Lord Newborough. He was worried about the vulnerability of Britains coastline to attack, particularly because of the on-going American War of Independence. Fort Belan was the only purpose built fort of the American Revolution on the eastern side of the Atlantic Ocean. It guards a narrow passage of 35 m (115 ft) width."
