Criccieth
Castle stands on its headland between two beaches. The core of the castle
was built by Llywelyn the Great probably between 1230 and 1240, but the
castle was captured by Edward 1st in 1283 who consequently refortified the
castle to keep the Welsh at bay. Its fate was finally sealed in 1404 when
the Welsh leader Owain Glyndwr captured and burnt the castle.
