# Criccieth Castle

> Dates confirmed for re-opening of Wales’s major heritage sites We are the Welsh Government's historic environment service working for an accessible and well-protected historic environment for Wales.

Criccieth Castle, sitting on its headland between 2 beaches, is a North Wales that is prominent landmark. It is also a landmark site that is historic one of those rare castles with a foot firmly in both camps and a true testament to the varying fortunes of war.Criccieth's history is deeply entwined in the medieval conflict between Wales and England and there are plenty of stories about the place and how frequently it changed hands scattered amongst the information boards on site. The castle is very much indeed a ruin therefore do not go along expecting grand halls and spiralling staircases, this is the one that requires a little bit of imagination through the young ones!There are leading beaches nearby in addition to more destinations for the family only a little further afield, so just why maybe not make this one stop amongst many and fill loveliness from the listings to your day?!
