The castle on the rock
The view of the sea from the top of Castle Criccieth is truly enchanting! Its two towers welcome visitors today, but once they stood to intimidate the enemies of the past. Little remains of the whole structure, but the atmosphere is as strong as ever. Construction started in 200, and Llewelyn the Great, the Welsh hero, lived here. If you buy the single entry pass from the CADW, you can enjoy entry to many castles and abbeys in Wales for a single low price, including this one.
