Harlech is a charming seaside resort on the Mid Wales coastline. Bursting with history, action and adventure, and of course the beautiful Harlech beach, there’s a day out for everyone to enjoy when staying at Castle View Holiday Home Park.
Welsh castles are known for their grandeur, and Harlech Castle is no exception. Towering over the glorious beach, Harlech Castle sits dramatically on a rocky crag with the mountains of Snowdonia as its impressive backdrop. This medieval castle was built by Edward I and has weathered centuries of battles, including the War of the Roses. There is no greater place to explore Welsh history than inside the walls of this imposing UNESCO world heritage site. The alternative Welsh national anthem, Men of Harlech, comes from tales of sieges and wars in Harlech. It’s no wonder it is one of the most popular castles to visit in Wales.
Whilst the castle is outstanding (and it really is!), there are plenty of other things to do in Harlech too. A favourite activity in the area is the Llanfair Slate Caverns. This day out is packed full of adventure, history and nature! You will traverse into the cavern and explore some of the oldest slate in the world. Meander the tunnels of Llanfair Slate Caverns underneath the mountains. When you’ve finished exploring the candlelit tunnels, you’ll emerge from the caves to the breath-taking view of Cardigan Bay and the Preseli mountains.
Whether you are a keen golfer or just enjoy incredible views, the Royal St David’s Golf Club is an absolute must visit for Harlech holiday home residents. Enveloped by stunning views of the coast and countryside, be sure to take a camera with you when you visit this outstanding golf club. It’s the perfect place to make precious family memories that last a lifetime.
