What is recorded here

The Ticket Booth at the King's Gate of Caernarfon Castle is a castle, fort or tower in Gwynedd, Wales. Perhaps it stands as a small gatekeeper to a much larger story, collecting coins instead of swords. Maybe the booth itself is a character in the castle's life, marking the boundary between private memory and public wonder. Imagine a world where even ancient stones need permission to be seen, and the booth is the hand that grants it.
