Castell Harlech

A really well preserved castle with a lot to see. Parking outside is a little tight so would recommend parking in one of the other car parks and walking (5 mins max). Well worth a visit.

An interesting and exceptionally well-preserved site. The views from the tower over the sea and the Snowdonia massif are breathtaking. At the entrance, there's a gift shop and a quick bar. It's worth purchasing a booklet about the castle's history with your ticket. Two hours ticket for car park is enough if you don't want to explore the local coffees and shops.

A beautifully stunning and well preserved castle with a rich history of sieges. Built by the coast upon a rocky crag overlooking the sea, Harlech offers amazing panoramic views from every angle. Walk ways along the battlements await, with steep stairways up tall turrets to explore. Narrow steps so good footwear needed. There is information about the castle, cafe, toilets and shop. Small car park with pay meter. The village is very quaint with lovely little shops worth a look around. 'mwynhau'

Worth a visit, on a clear day you have lovely views. Friendly reception staff. Cafe you could sit inside or out. Coffee and scones ☕ I saw quite a few being demolished 😋. Information inside and out castle. Quite a few dogs being walked around inside and outside of castle. Children play area.

Amazing castle, in good condition and with stunning views all around. Wonderfull walk on the walls on 3 sides and from the tallest tower. Best to book online, to get discounted entry, and it's good value for money. Cafe has amazing views from glass fronted modern room. Delicious Welsh rarebit.

These ruins are very extensive, the drive up was good, except going up the 1 way street, that is supposed to be 2 way twisty turner turns, at 25% grade. It was a very rainy day. You can imagine the former glamour of the castle, perched on a mountain, overlooking the town, seeing the water nearby. You can check out all the ruins unguided, there is a restaurant and gift store next.

**5/5 Stars** We had a fantastic time visiting Harlech Castle! There is a car park but it is rather small with around 30 spaces, with two disabled bays and two electric car charging spaces, so parking can be difficult if busy but there were signs to other car parks. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel very welcome, from the friendly pay desk to the lovely cafe. The toilets were spotless, which is always a nice considering how often they were used. When we entered the castle over a bridge with a view we were met by narrators, dressed in costume, who really brought the history of the castle to life! Yet with out the narrators we enjoyed the castle and it's amazing views as they were simply breathtaking, especially it you walk around on the top walk way. After exploring, we ended our visit with tea and cake at the cafe. The service was outstanding, with a lovely, chatty gentleman who served us who made our experience even more enjoyable. I had the coffee and walnut cake, which was absolutely delicious, and my husband had the Victoria sponge, which was also top-notch. A generous slice, too! Highly recommend this castle for both the history and the lovely cafe experience.

£10.50 for Adults worth every penny.You will need at least 2 hours to look around all of the castle,absolutely amazing would recommend. A lovely sovener shop and cafe with outside picnic area before entering the castle and a playground for children outside the castle wall.. Very very steep bank with bends driving up to the castle,apparently its the steepest bank in the world.

Harlech Castle is a lovely landmark built by King Edward 1st. Cost around £12 for a family of four but I believe you may get half price if you have an English Heritage membership card. Castle is stunning but avoid the toilets like the plague that it possibly has. They were disgusting and we were the first there in the morning, should have been cleaned.

Built by Edward I in the 13th century to enforce his rule over the Welsh, an amazing castle, with equally fantastic views, perched on a hilltop above the town. It boasts huge round towers at the corners and the gatehouse is particularly impressive. The admission price was around £4 (last year) and there is a pay and display car park close by.

Really beautiful ruins of a castle. It's not huge but a lot of fun climbing about. Be warned, the high up places can be a bit spooky (meaning way up high). Beautiful and nice views of the sea as well. Great thing when we went it wasn't that busy. If this region, it's definitely worth a stop by!

Harlech castle is an imposing landmark on the coast road and well worth a visit if you are in the area. A 13th century stone castle built atop a hill the views out to sea and across the surrounding mountains are breathtaking. Climb the winding stairs to the top of the turrets and walk along the ruined walls and you'll be treated to beautiful views and feeling of calm and peace. The surrounding town of Harlech has lots of lovely little cafes and 'pokey' shops that make spending an afternoon in the area a real treat.

Do not know who put those images on but they are not Harlech Castle :( . Harlech built by Edward to subdue Wales . Fine example of a concentric castle .Mind yourself on the wall walks the parapets arr not very high but the views over the bay are wonderfull .
