Criccieth & Snowdonia
Criccieth lies on the south side of the Llyn Peninsula
with splendid views over Cardigan Bay. It is home to a
medieval castle, built by the Welsh in the mid-thirteenth
century but later taken by Edward I who incorporated
it into his ring of castles designed to maintain Norman
control. It was captured by Owain Glynd^wr in the
uprising of 1404 and the scorch marks from that battle can still be seen!
The castle headland divides the town into two with a pebbly beach to the
west and a lovely sheltered mainly sandy beach to the east. Nearby is the
village of Llanystumdwy, which boasts a museum devoted to David Lloyd
George, the “Welsh Wizard”, whose family once lived in Criccieth.
The countryside around Criccieth is breathtaking with fabulous coastal
views over Cardigan Bay, awesome mountain scenery in Snowdonia and
delightful gardens and castles at every turn.
