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’s two beautiful beaches are separated by its prominent – and still powerful – medieval castle, perched on a small headland.
