A woman has been rescued after she became stranded on a moored yacht in Caernarfon.

Emergency services were called to the banks of the Afon Seiont at just before 11.35pm on Thursday night.

The RNLI's inshore lifeboat from Beaumaris found the sole occupant of the yacht had become stranded when the boat tender floated away.

She was brought ashore before being taken into the care of mobile coastguards from Llandwrog, who located and recovered the tender.

North Wales Fire and Rescue Service also attended the scene.

A spokesperson for RNLI Beaumaris said: "The informant did the correct thing in alerting the Coastguard to the situation. This meant our volunteer lifeboat crew were able to reach the location quickly and help out."
