The county town is [[Caernarfon]], which has Roman roots and its the most Welsh-speaking place in the world. The [[cathedral city]] [[Bangor]] is also located in the county, and is well-known for its university. Other notable settlements include [[Betws-y-coed]], [[Conwy]], [[Porthmadog]], [[Llandudno]] and [[Pwllheli]]. The village of Beddgelert is notable for the [[legend of Gelert]], a Welsh folk tale about a loyal dog belonging to [[Llywelyn the Great]] (1173-1240), who protects a baby from a [[wolf]].
