Majestic Harlech
Harlech Castle was captured during a siege in 1404 by Owain Glyndwr and became his military headquarters and residence until 1409 when it was recaptured by English forces. During the War of the Roses in the 15th century, the Lancastrians captured the castle for 7 years but they surrendered it to York’s troops in 1468. This siege created the phrase “Men of Harlech”, a phrase loved both by rugby fans and regimental bands.
