Also around Mount Snowdon there are many interesting places,
Clogwyn Du'r Arddu is an important site for rock climbing
like the cliffs of Clogwyn Du'r Arddu, well-known to rock-climbers, or the vast Harlech Castle, from whose stories the military song "Men of Harlech" was taken, or the lakes, subject of famous paintings like Richard Wilson's Snowdon from Llyn Nantlle and Sidney Richard Percy's Llyn-y-Ddinas.
Alan Sorrell, Harlech Castle, 1957. Note the ships and the sea on the left: in the 13th century, the sea came up close to the stairway, allowing supply by sea during sieges, but today the sea has retreated significantly. Snowdon is in the background. This picture was featured on a 1967 postcard.
