A tour of North Wales. 39.Harlech Castle, from the Meadows.— This fine Castle is the remains of a once important fortress, situated on an elevated rock about half-a-mile from the sea.

A magnificent view of the Snowdonian range and Car¬narvonshire mountains is obtained from the Castle itself, Harlech means bold rock. Ten miles further is.
