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.

Places to see in ( Machynlleth - UK )
Places to see in ( Machynlleth - UK )
Machynlleth, sometimes referred to colloquially as Mach, is a market town and community in Powys, Wales and within the historic boundaries of Montgomeryshire. Machynlleth is in the Dyfi Valley at the intersection of the A487 and the A489 roads.
Machynlleth was the seat of Owain Glyndwr's Welsh Parliament in 1404, and as such claims to be the ancient capital of Wales. However, it has never held any official recognition as a capital. It applied for city status in 2000 and 2002, but was unsuccessful. Machynlleth is twinned with Belleville, Michigan. Machynlleth hosted the National Eisteddfod in 1937 and 1981.
From 1859 to 1948 the town was served by the narrow gauge Corris Railway, which brought slate from the quarries around Corris and Aberllefenni for onward despatch to the markets. The railway's Machynlleth station building, built in 1905, can still be seen alongside the road approaching the town from the north.
Machynlleth main-line station was built by the Newtown and Machynlleth Railway, and continues to provide a link to Aberystwyth and the Cambrian coast to the west and Newtown and Shrewsbury to the east. Currently services are run by Arriva Trains Wales.
Machynlleth has a special role in Welsh history because of its connection with Owain Glyndwr, a Prince of Wales who rebelled against the English during the reign of King Henry IV. Owain was crowned Prince of Wales in 1404 near the Parliament House, which is one of three mediaeval houses in town, in the presence of leaders from Scotland, France and Spain, and he held his own Parliament in the town. He held his last parliament in the nearby village of Pennal, by the Church of St Peter ad Vincula. It is thought that after the rebellion floundered, Owain went into hiding in the area around Machynlleth.
Machynlleth is the home of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), Wales. It originated in 1986 as Y Tabernacl, a centre of performing arts in an old chapel, a private initiative by former journalist Andrew Lambert. In 1994 this was expanded with a new complex of art galleries, a recording studio and a language laboratory.

With the steady increase in people choosing to explore home rather than going abroad, we’re bringing you our top 5 places to staycation this summer!
5. The Lake District in Northwest England is the country’s largest national park. Hosting some of the most stunning landscapes in the UK, it’s a favourite among hikers and photographers.
Walking, cycling, windsurfing and kayaking are particularly popular here.
Our tip: Get up before sunrise for the best photos.
4. 2017 marks thirty years since Bath was awarded its UNESCO World Heritage status. It’s known as one of the most beautiful cities in England, with picturesque Georgian crescents, terraces and squares, a deep Roman history, an endless stream of independent shops and restaurants and beautiful countryside surroundings.
Our tip: Go on a weekday to avoid the crowds.
3. The New Forest offers beauty in abundance and is a great place to go for families. Our favourite is seeing Europe's largest gathering of otters and owls at the New Forest Otter, Owl and Wildlife Park.
For some adventure, cycle the flat, grounds of Brockenhurst, or visit Hurst Castle for an injection of history!
Our tip: The Lyndhurst New Forest Museum is free to enter
3. Snowdonia is about much more than just Mount Snowdon, Wales’s highest peak at 3,559 feet. With its mix of mountains, forest and sandy beaches, the Sygun Copper Mine, and medieval history at Harlech Castle, this giant national park has everything you need for a brilliant holiday.
Our tip: If you’re feeling lazy, there’s a railway that runs to the top of Mount Snowdon.
1. Cornwall is the classic British holiday destination. It has rolling countryside, beautiful beaches, quaint fishing villages and is home to the legendary Cornish pasty and of course, amazing cream teas.
For stunning views and lush greenery head to Penzance, for seaside charm head to St Ive's, and for watersports head to Newquay, a thriving town filled with surfer-types, nightlife and surf schools.
Our tip: For the best fish and chips in Cornwall head to Falmouth.
So those are our Top 5 places to Staycation this summer!
