Picturesque Harlech with its steep winding streets of shops, cafes & galleries is dominated by magnificent Harlech Castle. The most formidable of Edward 1 'steel ring' built to subdue the Welsh. It takes advantage of the natural features seeming to grow out of the rock upon which it stands with commanding views of the land and sea.

Castle Cottage Restaurant in Harlech was overall winner of 'Wales True Taste Eating Out Award 2008/09





The impressive statue of 'Two Kings' outside the castle represents one of the stories from the Mabinigion (a collection of 11 ancient Welsh tales).
