After two weeks in France, it was back to reality and work for a fortnight, before a trip to Wales for the end of the summer. We try and do a castle whenever we go to Wales, and chose Harlech for this time, with the both of us snapping away.
I (Ben) in particular have happy memories of this place, one of my earliest trips to Wales as a toddler was to a holiday-house in Harlech, near the castle.
Sadly, the battlement walk was out of bounds for building work (to be fair, the last time we came up here a couple of years back, it was a bit precarious up-top, so it needed some new railings).
There was still one tower open, even if it meant a bit of a crush at the top, and lots of congestion on the stairs. The panoramic shot at the top is one of Amy's, she had to rush it somewhat to get the odd minute where there was nobody else up there.
A train shot from the battlements has been on my (Ben's) to-do list for years, but our visits to the castle have always coincided with either engineering work on the line, or huge gaps in the timetable.
Another nice trip, if brief, but we were cramming a lot into this holiday, as the next few posts will show...
