Criccieth is a beautiful seaside resort town on Cardigan Bay, on the Southern side of the Llyn Peninsula. Known as the ‘Pearl of Wales on the Shores of Snowdonia’, this attractive Victorian seaside resort is popular with tourists for its fantastic beaches and its traditional Welsh charm.
The town began developing into a seaside resort back in 1868, when the Welsh Coast railways were beginning to be constructed. Since then, Criccieth has become a popular location for those seeking relaxing coastal breaks in the UK.
