Description

Welcome to the service area at Maes car park in Criccieth, a charming seaside resort on Cardigan Bay, south of the Llŷn peninsula. The area, managed by Gwynedd Council, provides grey water disposal and chemical toilet services with clear instructions displayed on site, as well as a freshwater supply point (time-limited use). You will find numbered pitches specially reserved for motorhome users within a mixed car park; please park well within the centre of the designated area to preserve space between vehicles. The local atmosphere is warm and relaxed, ideal for either a short stopover or an extended stay.

Tourisme

Criccieth (Gwynedd, United Kingdom)

Criccieth is a small coastal town in northwest Wales, set on a headland between two sandy beaches. Its landscape is dominated by the ruins visible from the promenade, while the Welsh language remains present in daily life. The tourist offering combines sea walks, medieval heritage and easy access to nearby mountain scenery. It is a calm starting point for exploring the Cardigan Bay coast and the hinterland of Eryri (Snowdonia).

Heritage and history

The most striking site is Criccieth Castle, an early 13th-century medieval fortress associated with the time of Llywelyn the Great. Built on a promontory, the castle provides a clear reading of coastal defenses and views over the bay. The urban fabric retains Georgian and Victorian houses around the promenade, witnesses to the 19th-century seaside development.

Nature and landscapes

The town is bordered by two sandy beaches separated by the castle promontory, suitable for low-tide walks. From the heights there are panoramas over Cardigan Bay where seals and dolphins can sometimes be seen. The surrounding slopes and heaths provide direct access to the wild spaces of Eryri and the county's coastal paths.

Access and atmosphere

Criccieth remains accessible via the coastal railway line (local station) and by road from Porthmadog or Pwllheli, making it a convenient stop. The atmosphere is decidedly calm and family-friendly: cafés, seaside walks and tourism focused on nature rather than big attractions.

Not to miss

  • Criccieth Castle: promontory ruins and panoramic views.
  • East and west beaches: long stretches of sand for walking.
  • Victorian promenade: cafés and a typical seafront.
  • Coastal walks to Porthmadog/Pwllheli: trails and sea views.
  • Marine watching: outings and viewpoints for seals and dolphins.
