Harlech to Criccieth

CoastSeries 5 (Shortened Versions)
Episode 11 of 31

Mark Horton discovers how Harlech Castle would have looked when it was built to subdue the Welsh in the 13th century. Neil Oliver is at Criccieth Castle.

The imposing castle at Harlech is one of the best preserved in Britain, but Mark Horton discovers how it would have looked radically different and even more terrifying when it was built to subdue the Welsh in the 13th century.

Across the bay, Neil Oliver is at the Welsh's rival castle at Criccieth.
