| About | Harlech Castle is a Grade l listed building. It is one of the most excellent examples of late 13th and early 14th-century military architecture in Europe. The views of its towering battlements are genuinely panoramic, stretching in the distance from the dunes at its base to the violet plateau of Snowdonia. The castle is compactly designed with an imposing inner curtain wall surrounded by an outer perimeter of much lower walls and massive round towers at the corners. Harlech was completed from the ground to battlements in just seven years under the guidance of gifted architect Master James of St George. Its classic ‘walls within walls’ design make the most of daunting natural defences. It offers children under five receive free entry. |
