This coast has been fought over, mined and prayed in for centuries — from a castle built by a Welsh prince and Edward I's mighty Harlech fortress to slate caverns and one of the oldest written records of the Welsh language, in Tywyn's own church. History here is close at hand and refreshingly uncrowded.
