Harlech Castle!


The first of the "true" castles we've visited - 4 in two days! What has amazed me has been the size. I knew castles were big but until you are standing at the base of one, it really doesn't hit home!! Incredible too the detail and construction - again without the use of modern tools and engineering! At the base of the hill is Ysgol Castell (Castle School)! I watched the kids in their uniforms out playing and wondered if they realize how lucky they are to be in such a wonderful setting!
