Y Segontiwm is located on Rhes Segontiwm in the historic royal town and port of Caernarfon, Gwynedd. The town is positioned on the eastern side of the Menai Strait, opposite the Isle of Anglesey
.
Caernarfon is best known for Caernarfon Castle, a colossal medieval fortress, and has an incredibly well preserved circuit of medieval walls which stretch for nearly half a mile around the town. Caernarfon serves as a prominent cultural stronghold for the Welsh language and acts as a major gateway to the nearby mountains of Eryri National Park (Snowdonia). Tourists enjoy visiting the castle in addition to Segontium Roman Fort, the Welsh Highland Railway and the town's vibrant, modernised waterfront marina which is packed with artisan workshops, cafés and restaurants.
The A487 trunk road bisects the town and allows easy access to the A55 North Wales Expressway and the A4086. The latter provides links to Llanberis and the foot of Snowdon.
The property lies within the historic Caernarfon Conservation Area.
