Built originally by Llywelyn the Great, this very Welsh of princes included a very English style of gatehouse. Edward I’s forces took the castle some 50 years later, undertook their own improvements and remodelled a tower for stone-throwing engines. Not as much fun for those at the bottom as it sounds for those at the top!
Owain Glyn Dŵr sealed Criccieth’s fate when his troops captured and burnt the castle in the early years of the 15th century. This was to be the last major Welsh rebellion against the English.
Criccieth Castle may also have given the name to the town rather than the other way round. Its suggested origins are ‘crug caeth’ – ‘crug’ (hill in Welsh), ‘caith’ (captives)

We have been so lucky to be able to use the brilliant Glass Fronted Art Deco styled Morannedd building right by the sea in Criccieth.
Designed by architectural icon Clough Williams Ellis in the 1930s we hope we have brought this beautiful place back to life both internally and externally. It is a treat for us to work in such a place, looking out across the bay towards Harlech Castle and the Rhinogs or back along our own beach to Criccieth Castle. It is magical, coming to work is a joy and we do hope that visiting us will produce the same feelings and the food is brilliant!
