Harlech Castle

"what are we doing today?"

Harlech Castle
Spectacularly sited Harlech Castle seems to grow naturally from the rock on which it is perched.

Like an all seeing sentinel, it gazes out across land and sea, keeping a watchful eye over Snowdonia.
The English monarch Edward I built Harlech in the late 13th century to fulfil this very role. It was one of the most formidable of his 'iron ring' of fortresses designed to contain the Welsh in their mountain fastness.

We do strongly suggest you ring Harlech Castle before you set off on your family day out, just to make sure they are open and to confirm admission prices, there is nothing worse than disappointed kids in the back of your car after a long journey.

Also, it may be worth clicking the link to Harlech Castle's website, to see if there are special events and seasonal things to do that may be going on during the day.
