What is recorded here

Castell Harlech is a ruined concentric castle on a rocky knoll in Gwynedd, built by Edward I between 1282 and 1289. It resisted Madog ap Llywelyn, became Owain Glyndŵr's headquarters until 1409, endured the Wars of the Roses, and was the last fortification to surrender during the English Civil War. A water-gate and long steps still drop toward the former shore, preserving the castle's maritime lifeline during sieges.

Castell Harlech is shown as a castle on the public map of Gwynedd. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

Built by Edward I of England in the late 13th century, Castell Harlech was a key component of his campaign to subdue Wales. It is remembered as one of the "Iron Ring" of castles and as a symbol of Welsh resistance, later being held by Owain Glyndŵr during his revolt.
