Criccieth Castle from the Beach - Criccieth

Criccieth is a picturesque little coastal town situated in the Lleyn Peninsular, North Wales. With the castle perched up on top of the hill, quaint little cottages and tea rooms galore it is a lovely and relaxing place to be.

The beach itself is a mixture of sand and shingle which I imagine gets pretty busy on a nice warm summers day.

View from Criccieth Castle

The views from the Castle in Criccieth are out of this world, you can see for miles around on a clear day. There are some nicely positioned benches up on top for you to admire the beautiful Welsh scenery.

Pros and Cons

Lovely little page brings back many memories of a place in which I spent lots of my childhood and early teens . Thanks for those memories.
