Harlech Castle crowns a sheer rocky crag overlooking the dunes far below – waiting in vain for the tide to turn and the distant sea to lap at its feet once again. No further drama is really required but, just in case, the rugged peaks of Snowdonia rise as a backdrop. Against fierce competition from Conwy, Caernarfon and Beaumaris, this is probably the most spectacular setting for any of Edward I’s castles in North Wales. All four are designated as a World Heritage Site. The displayed opening times are our general pattern. Please check the Cadw website for specific times and days, including closures.
Harlech Castle (Welsh: Castell Harlech), located in Harlech, Gwynedd, Wales, is a medieval fortification, constructed atop a spur of rock close to the Irish Sea. It was built by Edward I during his invasion of Wales between 1282 and 1289. UNESCO considers Harlech to be one of "the finest examples of late 13th century and early 14th century military architecture in Europe", and it is classed as a World Heritage site.

Lovely little walk to the rear of the Royal Victoria Hotel, nice views when you get to the top of tower.

We stopped here on our way from Blaenau to Llandudno and really enjoyed our visit. It is quite a climb from the car park to the castle, and then, if you want to get to the top of the ramparts, a lot more steps. However, all this effort is worthwhile because the views from the top are stunning. There are plenty of information boards to explain the castle's history. A word of warning; the lady at the farm does not accept plastic so make sure that you have sufficient cash to cover the entry fee.
