(LL46 2UF) Harlech - Hwylfar Nant

The car park for the lower entrance to Harlech Castle. But that 'watergate' entrance is now closed down. A refreshing lack of signs of any sort, so no charges & seems no restrictions. It's flat & can manage longer vehicles No other parking spaces in use overnight. It's near Harlech's seldom used rail station & level crossing. Slept through any noise there may have been. The access road is hardly used. Turn right & you can challenge your calves to 'The Steepest Street In The World'* to the castle entrance (left for slighty easier walk, or assume the bus-stop sorts it) The only pub that was open in Harlow is just over the rail track & has good simple meals. A supermaket (8am-10pm) & well kept public toilets are also just across rails. The parking spot even offers the fortified watergate for the castle. Seems built 1290s. You can walk inside its atmospheric hoisting port for vessels. *Some upstart NZ street recently stole the title, when Guiness Records compared centerlines. However walking off-center can still bag you a world record after breakfast.
