Even though Criccieth is a small town with a small population, it is full of character and there are plenty of things to see and do. Each year the town attracts water sport enthusiasts and it home to the famous Cadwaladers ice cream, which was first produced in the 1920’s. Why not visit the traditional Welsh tearooms, or pop into the local delicatessen that offers a delicious range of delicious meat, cheese, chutneys and jams? Or take a stroll around the quirky boutique stores that sell Fairtrade clothing, candles and soap.

Nearby is the village of Llanystundwy, which boasts a museum devoted to David Lloyd George, the “Welsh Wizard”, whose family once lived in Criccieth. The countryside around Criccieth is breath taking with fabulous coastal views over Cardigan Bay, awesome mountain scenery in Snowdonia and delightful gardens and castles at every turn. There are not many places in the UK that can boast sea, snow-capped mountains and a majestic medieval castle as a backdrop. Ask anyone what they love about Criccieth and the answer is always the same – “It never changes.”
