Discover the rich history of Goch, a name shared by a town in Wales and a district in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. In Wales, the key point town once cleared of German occupation during World War II, near Rhayader and the Craig-y-alt-Goch Dam. In Germany, Goch was a fortified town with Steenpoort and Vospoort gates, conquered from the Spaniards by Charles Lambert in 1625. Fast forward to the 18th century, Goch in Germany was part of the district of Kleve, and its Cityscapes along Cleefsche road were documented in 1746. Today, both Goch in Wales and the iconic Crib Goch on Mount Snowdon in Snowdonia, North Wales, continue to captivate visitors with their unique landscapes and historical significance.
