Harlech
Castle was one of the many fortresses built by Edward 1st as one of his
'iron ring' castles designed to contain the Welsh in their mountains.
Breathtaking views can be seen from the battlements as its siting, overlooking Snowdonia and the seas, was purposeful as seaborne access is crucial in times of siege. In 1404 the Welsh leader Owain Glyndwr captured the castle and a long siege. during the War of the Roses inspired the song 'Men of Harlech'.
