YOUR LOCAL HOLIDAY GUIDE
Things to do in Criccieth
Visit Castell Cricieth
The ruined castle overlooks the town and Cardigan Bay. Explore its surviving defences and the view from the headland, allowing for the climb from the waterfront. Cadw's access information is useful if steps or steep paths affect anyone travelling.
Choose a beach afternoon
The castle divides Criccieth's two beach areas, giving a seaside visit its distinctive backdrop. Make a short promenade outing or settle beside the water according to conditions. A comfortable pair of shoes is useful for moving between the shore and town.
Lloyd George's childhood home nearby
At Llanystumdwy, the Lloyd George Museum and childhood home introduce a very different piece of Welsh history. Make this a separate excursion from Criccieth, with time to explore the village setting rather than assuming it is part of the castle visit.
Local shops, food & places to browse
Criccieth has cafés, fish-and-chip shops and ice-cream stops around the town and seafront. The castle visitor centre also has a shop for guidebooks and gifts, useful for following up a historical visit.
Planning your holiday in Criccieth
A castle visit and time on the beach combine naturally, but the headland involves a real climb. Keep the museum excursion for another part of the day if your group prefers a slower pace.
Choosing where to stay
Use Criccieth as the search location when you want a base here. Porthmadog, Pwllheli and other Llŷn towns have their own centres; a nearby attraction does not establish where an advertised caravan stands.
Before you book, check the advert’s address, sleeping arrangements, park facilities and any extra charges with the owner. Use the search filters for features such as decking, a hot tub or a washing machine, and park facilities such as a pool or clubhouse.
