Attractions / Activities
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.
St. Cybi's Well
Attraction
Picturesque site of former 'holy well' dedicated to the sixth-century saint, Cybi. Two stone well-chambers and a later cottage survive.
Cymer Abbey
Attraction
Substantial remains of the simple abbey church, founded in 1198 by Maredudd ap Cynan for the Cistercian order.
Dolbadarn Castle
Attraction
Probably built by Llywelyn ab Iorwerth ('the Great') early in the thirteenth century, the castle is dominated by a massive round-towered keep, still standing up to 50 feet (15.2m) high.
Dyfi Distillery
Attraction
A unique Gin distillery in the Dyfi UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. The only distillery to have won Best British Gin at the Great British Food Awards twice, and home to Pollination and Hibernation gins.
