Morfa Harlech (grid reference SH571337) is an extensive dune system stretching northwards from the town of Harlech in North Wales. The dunes cover 6 km², of which an area of about 1.5 km² in the middle has been afforested with Corsican Pine.
Set against the backdrop of Snowdonia, beneath Harlech Castle, Morfa Harlech is one of Britain's actively growing sand dune systems due to the longshore drift which is currently eroding the dunes at Morfa Dyffryn.[1]
