The town of Harlech lies within the beautiful Snowdonia National Park in the North Wales county of Gwynedd.

Also within the town is Ffordd Pen Llech, reputed to be the steepest signed public paved road in the United Kingdom and one of the steepest roads in the world.
The area is hugely popular with visitors who are attracted to its stunning coastline, walking routes and its close proximity to Snowdonia National Park. Harlech lies off the A496 which provides links to Barmouth to the south and to Maentwrog and Porthmadog to the north. Harlech Railway Station serves the town and operates on the Cambrian Line between Pwllheli and Machynlleth.
