Former English Marine Calvinistic Methodist Chapel, Criccieth

Highlight • Religious Site

This lovely converted building was formerly the English Marine Calvinistic Methodist Chapel in Criccieth. The chapel was built in 1879, to the design of architect Owen Morris Roberts of Porthmadog, and built in the Sub-Classical style of the gable entry type. By 1997 the building was no longer in use as a chapel.
As well as being an attractive building, the place is of interest also thanks to the beautiful tiling of the forecourt.

Criccieth Castle

Highlight • Historical Site

Criccieth Castle overlooks Tremadog Bay on the Llŷn Peninsula in North Wales. It was built in the 13th century and remains in remarkably good condition. It's well worth looking inside, although there is a charge, and you can learn about its history from boards.

As you might expect, it's blessed with absolutely fantastic views.

July 15, 2024,Blackrock to Criccieth on the beach and back along the paths

The beach leg needs to be at low tide and even then may require shoes and socks off to get around the rock!

This walk was purely for ice cream at Cadwaladers.. 😆
