Castell y Bere
Attraction
Distinctive remains of a native Welsh castle, probably begun by Prince Llywelyn ab Iorwerth ('the Great') around 1221. Castell y Bere was a remote outpost on Llywelyn’s southern frontier, but it was vital to his security.
Criccieth Castle
Attraction
It is a landmark site, a true testament to the varying fortunes of war. What a picture, what a view! Perched on a headland with the sea as its constant bedfellow. Its twin-towered gatehouse intimidates prospective attackers.
Criccieth Beach
Attraction
Criccieth’s two beautiful beaches are separated by its prominent – and still powerful – medieval castle, perched on a small headland.

Tywyn Beach

Tywyn’s name derives from Welsh words meaning dunes and seaside – so if you know a little Welsh you’ll know what to expect! There’s firm sand too – lots of it.
