Criccieth

About

Criccieth ward encompasses the coastal town itself along with some surrounding rural land on the Llŷn Peninsula. The area is defined by its position on Tremadog Bay, with a historic castle standing on a headland between two beaches.

The landscape includes farmland and lower slopes leading to the shoreline. The ward contains distinct areas like the Morfa housing estate and the quieter hamlet of Gwynfryn inland. The castle, built by Welsh princes and later modified by English monarchs, is a central feature overlooking the town and Cardigan Bay.
