Personalised Tour of Harlech Castle aka Glyndwr's Royal Court
This was me doing a brief, personalised video tour of Harlech Castle in Gwynedd North Wales which after being built by King Edward I of England in 1283 was then captured by the last Prince of Wales Owain Glyndwr in 1404 which then became his Royal Court for over 4 years and it was later used in the War of the Roses between the houses of Lancaster & York which is where the song ''Men of Harlech'' came from.

Harlech Castle - Snowdonia
Join Archaeologist & Historian James Balme as he pays a visit to Harlech Castle, Snowdonia, North West Wales and enjoy the breathtaking views from the castle across the Welsh landscape. The castle was constructed for King Edward I between 1283 and 1290. Edward's tried and tested 'Walls within Walls' model was put together in super - fast time by an army of nearly a thousand skilled craftsmen and labourers.
Edward liked to use only the best masons from Savoy and Ireland and England's finest carpenters and blacksmiths. At the time of construction this was one of the cheapest of Edward's castles. A snip at a mere £1890.
The structure, overseen by Master of the King's works, James of St George, boasts two rings of walls and towers, with an immensely strong east gatehouse. It was impregnable from almost every angle. Its secret weapon was a 200 foot long stairway which still leads from the castle to the cliff base.
Why not pay a visit of your own to see this magnificent castle in its full splendour and glory and soak up the historic atmosphere of Snowdonia and West Wales.
A Visit to Harlech Castle with Dan Snow
Dan visits Harlech Castle, one of Europe's most impressive Medieval fortifications. Built in the late 13th century the castle occupied a strong defensive position a'top a spur of rock surrounded by the sea.
Throughout the late medieval period, this bastion of English power withstood a number of epic sieges. It was eventually taken at the end of 1404 by none other than Owain Glyndŵr, the famous Welsh resistance leader.
Five years later however, it fell back into English hands following the collapse of Owain's resistance.
Here Dan explores the defensive structure and explains why it is one of the most remarkable castles not just in Britain but in the whole of Europe.

Places to see in ( Harlech - UK )
Places to see in ( Harlech - UK )
Harlech is a town and seaside resort in Gwynedd, within the historic boundaries of Merionethshire in northwest Wales. Lying on Tremadog Bay and within the Snowdonia National Park. Harlech is in the unitary authority of Gwynedd which was formed in 1996. From 1974 to 1996 it was in the Meirionydd District of the 1974 County of Gwynedd, and before 1974 it was in the historic county of Merionethshire.
Harlech is best known for the landmark Harlech Castle, begun in 1283 by Edward I of England, captured by Owain Glyndŵr, and later the stronghold of Henry Tudor. The castle was built next to the sea, but geological processes have changed the shape of the coastline, and the castle now lies on a cliff face, about half a mile (800 m) inland. The town of Harlech has since developed, with housing estates on the flat low town area and hillside properties in the high town around the shopping street, church, and castle. The two areas are linked by a steep and winding road called Twtil.
Harlech railway station is served by the Cambrian Coast Line. It also contains Ffordd Pen Llech, a street which descends the rock spur to the north of the castle, and has the steepest signed gradient on a public road in the United Kingdom. Theatr Harlech (formerly Theatr Ardudwy) is located on the Coleg Harlech campus and stages a varied selection of plays, music, and films throughout the year.
Other attractions in Harlech include its beach backed with sand dunes and the famous Royal Saint David's Golf Club, which hosted its fifth British Ladies Amateur in 2009. The Rhinogydd (or Rhinogs) range of mountains rises to the east. As late as the 19th century some texts referred to Harddlech and Harddlech Castle.

Britain's Best Buildings - Harlech Castle (S02 E01 BBC 5 May, 2004)
Britain's Best Buildings is a BBC documentary series in which the TV presenter and architectural historian Dan Cruickshank discusses his selection of the finest examples of British architecture.
The programme was later found to have lifted most of its script from Marc Morris's Channel 4 programme on the castle, and the BBC paid out.
Broadcaster gets apology from BBC as history repeats itself
Historian hears his own words in documentary by rival presenter
When the television historian Marc Morris settled down in his Oxford home to watch a BBC documentary about Harlech castle earlier this month, it was with not inconsiderable interest: a year ago, he had made a programme for Channel 4 about the same building.
But Morris's interest turned to surprise and then anger when, a few minutes into the film, he began to recognise some of the words and phrases used by his fellow broadcaster, Dan Cruickshank. As the BBC4 programme progressed, it became apparent that sections of Morris's Channel 4 documentary, and the book that accompanied it, had been lifted and used virtually unaltered.
