Only a four mile drive from our cottages and B&B, Harlech is an enthralling place to spend a day out.
One of the most stunning historic attractions in the area is Harlech's magnificent thirteenth century castle, now part of the "Castles and Town Walls of King Edward in Harlech, Beaumaris, Caernarfon and Conwy (Gwynedd)" World Heritage Site, reflecting both its historical significance and remarkable state of preservation.
Built by King Edward I during his conquest of Wales, the castle is notable not only for its massive gatehouse but also its colourful history, including seizure by Owain Glyndŵr in 1404 and the seven year siege during the Wars of the Roses (1455 - 1487) chronicled in the famous Welsh anthem "Men of Harlech".
