THE WELSH SEASIDE - Harlech

Some 10 miles north of Barmouth, Harlech has a wonderful beach that sweeps around Tremadog Bay. The beach has fine sand dunes and a backdrop of Snowdonian mountains. Looking seawards to the NW you can follow the coastline towards the Lleyn Peninsula and imagine the fine days you could have there also

There is something of a disconnect between the beach and the town, seeing as there is an upwards trek to be made between the two. The town of just under 1500 people has more of a feel of a sleepy village. What road traffic there is up and down the coast doesn't pass through the town unless a detour is made

There is a fine castle - well-preserved with with an interesting history. So much so it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The castle is easily picked out from a distant where line of sight is possible

The Cambrian Coast railway station is nearby. Trains going NW and S usually pass each other here every 2 hours
