Criccieth is a beautiful Victorian seaside town on Cardigan Bay, on the Southern side of the Llyn Peninsula. Known as the ‘Pearl of Wales on the Shores of Snowdonia’.
Overlooking the town on its headland stands the remains of the 13th century Criccieth Castle. The origin of the name ‘Criccieth’ has been disputed over the years, but many believe it is a reference to welsh words ‘crug caeth’. These words translate to ‘hill captives’ - the hill on which the castle was built upon was once used as a jail.

Rhinog Fawr forms part of the Rhinogydd range. It is the third highest summit of the Rhinogydd. It can be quite a challenging walk because the hard sedimentary rock is covered with heather, so allow for extra time as this does make footing a bit more tricky.
Take in the breathtaking views and the tranquil waters.
