Criccieth is a seaside town on the southern side of the Llŷn Peninsula, with two beaches separated by its medieval castle. Our Criccieth cottages by the sea put you close to the promenade, town centre and coastline of Cardigan Bay. Spend the day on the beach, visit Criccieth Castle or follow the Wales Coast Path towards Porthmadog. The town is also well placed for exploring the wider Llŷn Peninsula, with Black Rock Sands, Pwllheli and several smaller coastal villages within easy reach.

Sea View Cottages on the Criccieth Coast

Sea views are available from some holiday cottages in Criccieth, while other properties provide a convenient base for reaching both the coast and town centre. This gives you a choice between staying close to the water or choosing accommodation further into town.

Cottages vary in size and style, with options for couples, families and larger groups. Find more coastal accommodation among our North Wales cottages by the sea.

 

Criccieth Castle and the Town

Criccieth Castle is the town’s main landmark. It was first built in stone by Llywelyn the Great in the 13th century and later extended by Llywelyn ap Gruffudd. Edward I captured the castle and made further alterations before it was attacked and burned by Owain Glyndŵr’s forces in 1404.

You can visit the castle and walk around the ruins, with views over the town and Cardigan Bay from the headland. The visitor centre also has an exhibition covering the history of the castle and the Princes of Gwynedd.

Back in town, Criccieth has cafés, pubs, restaurants and independent shops, with much of the centre within walking distance of the seafront.

 

Coastal Walks and Places to Visit Near Criccieth

The Wales Coast Path passes through Criccieth and gives you routes in both directions. One established section runs 6.5 miles from Criccieth to Porthmadog, following the coastline towards the Glaslyn Estuary. Public transport between the two towns means you don’t necessarily have to walk the route in both directions.

For a different beach, Black Rock Sands at Morfa Bychan is a short distance away and has a much longer expanse of sand. Heading west takes you further onto the Llŷn Peninsula towards Pwllheli, Llanbedrog and Abersoch. Porthmadog is also nearby, with its harbour and access to the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways.
