Harlech
A small town stacked below a dramatic clifftop castle, with the whole of Eryri filling the skyline and four miles of dune-backed sand at its feet. Harlech marks the southern coast of the National Park — castle, beach and mountains in one view — and makes a quieter base than the northern honeypots.
