Carnarvon and Denbigh Herald was a liberal, English-language newspaper that was published weekly between 1836 and 1920. It was published in Caernarfon and circulated in North Wales and London, Liverpool and Manchester. [1]

Caernarfon town and port in Gwynedd, Wales

Caernarfon is a royal town, community, and port in Gwynedd, Wales, with a population of 9,615. It lies along the A487 road, on the eastern shore of the Menai Strait, opposite the Isle of Anglesey. The city of Bangor is 8.6 miles (13.8 km) to the north-east, while Snowdonia fringes Caernarfon to the east and south-east. Carnarvon and Caernarvon are Anglicised spellings that were superseded in 1926 and 1974 respectively. The villages of Bontnewydd and Caeathro are close by. The town is also noted for its high percentage of native Welsh speakers. Due to this, Welsh is the predominant language of the town.

The main content of the Carnarvon and Denbigh Herald was local and general news. The inaugural editor of the paper was James Rees. It was first issued on 9 January 1836. [1]
