Not really, it is the same place - the castle of Edward I in Caernarfon, North Wales. The difference is the spelling - Caernarvon is the English spelling, Caernarfon is the Welsh.
There is no 'V' in the Welsh alphabet, and a single 'F' is hard, like 'V'.

Where is Caernarfon Castle?
Caernarfon CastleIn Welsh: Castell Caernarfon is a medieval building in Gwynedd north-west Wales. There was a motte and bailey castle in the town of Caernarfon from the late 11th century until 1283 when King Edward 1st of England began replacing it with the current stone structure. The Edwardian town and castle acted as the administrative centre of north Wales and as a result the defences were built on a grand scale.
