Criccieth is a town and community on Cardigan Bay, in the Eifionydd area of Gwynedd in Wales. The town of Criccieth lies 5 miles west of Porthmadog, 9 miles east of Pwllheli and 17 miles south of Caernarfon.
Criccieth is a seaside resort, popular with families. Attractions include the ruins of Criccieth Castle, which have extensive views over the town and surrounding countryside. Nearby on Ffordd Castell (Castle Way) is Cadwalader's Ice Cream Parlour, opened in 1927, whilst Stryd Fawr (High Street) has several bistro style restaurants. In the centre lies Y Maes , part of the original medieval town common.
Criccieth is noted for its fairs, held on 23 May and 29 June every year, when large numbers of people visit the fairground and the market which spreads through many of the streets of the town of Criccieth . Famous people associated with Criccieth include the British prime minister, David Lloyd George, who grew up in the nearby village of Llanystumdwy, and poet William George.
Criccieth is located in Eifionydd on the Cardigan Bay shore of the Llŷn Peninsula. The town is south facing and built around the rocky outcrop containing Criccieth Castle, which effectively divides the shoreline in two at this point. The East Shore has a sandy beach with a shallow area for bathing, whilst the Marine Beach, to the west, is quieter and has a number of hotels and guest houses.
Criccieth Castle dominates the town, standing on a rock overlooking Cardigan Bay. Little survives of the original building, but the outer defences are still prominent. To the south of Y Maes stands Caffi Cwrt, an early 18th century detached stone house where the burgesses held court when rain prevented them meeting in their usual location on the bridge.
On Penpaled Road is a cottage, Penpaled, built in 1820 on a plot lying between two enclosed meadows. The meadows, Cae'r Beiliaid (bailiff's field) and Llain y Beiliaid (bailiff's strip) were subsequently to form part of the route of both the road and the railway.
Ffordd Castell is within the original settlement, Yr Hen Dref, though most of the houses are Victorian. Ty Mawr, however, originally a smallholding and later a public house. Y Gorlan on Ffordd Caernarfon formed part of the small estate of Cefniwrch Bach .
Criccieth lies on the A497, the main road running through the southern Llŷn Peninsula from Porthmadog to Pwllheli. The B4411 runs north from Criccieth to join the A487 near Garndolbenmaen, giving access to Caernarfon to the north. The town is served by Criccieth railway station on the Cambrian Coast Line between Pwllheli and Machynlleth.

THE WELSH SEASIDE Criccieth
Whilst Criccieth may not win the prize of too many peoples favourite holiday destination (the competition being pretty fierce around these parts!) it is nonetheless a fine and rather lovely place to spend time. Because of this it has a rather genteel feel about it
There is a fine castle (built around 1320) on the high ground, jutting out onto Cardigan Bay. This happily splits the shoreline into two, giving us fine vistas. Harlech and further south can clearly be seen - inland to the east, the nearby Snowdonian mountain range dominates
Seeing as the main road is well away from the beaches.it is a very quite place to spend time Of interest on the East Shore is the Morannedd Café which was designed by the noted Clough Williams-Ellis in 1954 (the same person who designed Portmerion)
The population of Criccieth is around 1800. It has a railway service running along the Cambrian Coast (currently out of use due to storm damage - April 2014) and a frequent bus service also
The music was composed by HOWARD GOODALL. Whilst titled 'Land of the Lakes' and written to celebrate the Lake District in Cumbria, its grandeur somehow seems appropriate enough for Criccieth also

Ann Letitia Russell Lifeboat
This is a film made in Fleetwood around the early 1960's by Fleetwood Cine club. The film is about Fleetwood lifeboat the Ann Letitia Russell which served the town from 1939 to 1976. The lifeboat is currently being restored in the town. Sadly the quality of the video is not brilliant as this was a home video camera recording of the original cine film. However the video does show parts of Fleetwood from the 1960's including streets in the town, the old docks and of course the lifeboat station and lifeboat.
