Harlech Castle is one of the great medieval fortresses of Europe — a UNESCO World Heritage Site built by Edward I in the 1280s, crowning a sheer rocky crag with the mountains of Snowdonia as a backdrop and sweeping views across Cardigan Bay. The imposing gatehouse and curtain walls are among the best preserved in Wales. The town of Harlech below is well worth exploring too.
