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.

UK Sites Summer Inspiration
Lon Goed northbound walk (Chwilog, near Pwllheli, Wales, UK)
On the A497 road between Llanystumdwy and Chwillog, an old 'green lane' heads north. You can trace it's route on detailed maps but you'd miss it unless you knew what to look for. But why not have a stroll down this fascinating tree-lined avenue, which stretches for 8km near Llanystumdwy, Gwynedd.
Built in 1820 as a cart road to carry limestone to the Mostyn Estate, the ancient road that reached inland from the southern coast through rural farmland has since become an icon in the local area. The Welsh poet, R Williams Parry, wrote his famous Eifionydd poem about it.
My time lapse film shows it's character, state and degree of continuity during January 2011, starting by the A497 and heading north. I've also added a few shots of July 2009 to show the summer contrast. Most of the route is either a track or a public footpath. Parts are better recognised by walkers than others. Being tree-lined, it makes a great walk on hot summer days where shelter is desired. It is also likely to be a quiet walk. Some sections can get muddy in winter, as you see. You can see part of the route highlighted on an aerial photo here, although my time lapse film continues further north too:
For techno people, I took one still photo every 10 paces or so. of course it slowed me down but not unduly so if the main purpose of the visit was to do the walk itself. Taking a set of still images also enabled me to 'ignore' a few physical barriers along the route (gates, walls etc).
