If you visiting northern Wales, go and see one of the most beautiful sites is Harlech Castle, very well preserved 13th century building, which is today part of the Snowdonia National Park. To reach the Harlech town and the castle, you have to go up to very steep road. It was quite challenging even for a car! The small town is beautiful and quaint steep streets are full little shops and tea rooms, mostly built with dark stone.
Harlech Castle is renowned for its spectacular location on a rocky crag, overlooking the sea and framed by the mountains of Snowdonia beyond. Not only is the site picturesque but it is also eminently defensible and King Edward I's skillful master mason, James of St George, exploited this unique position to the full.
