£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.

**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.

Amazingly well preserved castle. World Heritage site. Fantastic way to spend a few hours emersed in the history of Wales and Harlech. Lots of information is provided as you explore the various areas of the castle. The staff were very helpful, informative and friendly. There is a lovely cafe and gift shop in the visitors centre.

Excellent castle to visit. Plenty of history and look out for the displays and demonstrations. Parking can be a little tricky. The cafe is well worth a visit as well.

Beautiful castle and visitors centre. The only issue was parking as they only have a very small car park. We climbed to the top of the tower (146 steps) and the view was beautiful. The video you watch before you go around the castle is very informative and tells you all about the history. Cafe serves lovely food (but is a bit on the pricey side) and the small birds are not afraid to come close for scraps of food

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.

Best feature of this was being able to walk along the walls and up to the tallest tower. Spoke to a couple of the people working inside, they were super informative about the armour/weaponry, shows that were put on and birds of prey used. The cafe opposite the castle was super yummy and had very good portion sizes! The only downsides of this experience was the parking being small (in 3 locations) and the information about the castles history was all in one place, impossible to read when visiting with a child. Would be nice to have signs about the different named towers in the same area, plus pictures of what they believed it looked like in its prime.

Really Beautiful castle, with wonderful views from the tower and the upper walls you can access through the prison, definitely worth a stop! It cost me about £10 to get in and parking even for motorcycles seems to be ticketed (stickers - best take a photo 😂)

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.
