Harlech Castle is one of the most impressive and historically significant castles in Wales, located in the seaside town of Harlech, Gwynedd, on the west coast of North Wales. Castell Harlech 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. | Discover Britain with Youssef

Castell Harlech 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 Eryri 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. 👉 cadw.gov.wales/visit/plac
