Cambrian Coast 090922 4741
A journey on the Cambrian Coast railway between Pwllheli and Dovey Junction, 9 September 2022. A view of the great castle at Harlech on the edge of Snowdonia in North Wales.
This spectacularly sited fortress was one of four great defences erected in North Wales in the late 13th century at the demand of Edward I of England. Constructed between 1282 and 1289, it stands on a natural rock crag that at the time rose straight from the sea, although the shoreline is around a mile away now.
