Harlech's famous Castle
Only a four mile drive from our cottages and B&B Harlech offers 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 it's historical importance and remarkable state of preservation.
Built King Edward I during his conquest of Wales, it is notable for it's massive gatehouse, seizure by Owain Glyndŵr in 1404, and the seven year long siege during the Wars of the Roses chronicled in the famous Welsh anthem "Men of Harlech".
