City/town information
Victorian charm comes to the seaside – with a medieval castle thrown in for good measure. Cricieth’s two beaches are separated by a headland fortress with a fascinating, eventful history. The little resort is full of Victorian character – and flowers. Numerous restaurants and quality hotels, many with dreamy views across Cardigan Bay. Perfect spot for exploring Snowdonia’s mountains and the Llŷn Peninsula. Excellent coarse fishing nearby at Bron Eifion’s six-acre lake.

‘Land of contrasts’ is one of those overused clichés scattered around travel guides with gay abandon. But here, it happens to be true. One minute you’re up, up and away in the mountains. Next stop, you’re on the beach. It’s no exaggeration to say that you can feel on top of the world in the morning (Snowdon’s peak experience), and have Saharan quantities of sand beneath your feet in the afternoon (at Harlech, Dinas Dinlle or Black Rock Sands).
