Harlech Castle

Harlech

Harlech Castle was completed from ground to battlements in just seven years under the guidance of gifted architect Master James of St George. Its classic ‘walls within walls’ design makes the most of daunting natural defences. Harlech Castle is perched on a sheer rocky crag overlooking the dunes far below. The rugged peaks of Eryri (Snowdonia) rise as a backdrop. Even when completely cut off by the rebellion of Madog ap Llewelyn the castle held out – thanks to the ‘Way from the Sea’. This path of 108 steps rising steeply up the rock face allowed the besieged defenders to be fed and watered by ship. Harlech Castle is easier to conquer today. An incredible ‘floating’ footbridge allows you to enter this great castle as Master James intended – for the first time in 600 years. Harlech Castle provides a fantastic family day out, with intrigue in every corner, and refreshments available after a long day of exploring!
