Criccieth Castle sits on the headland overlooking Tremadog Bay in Criccieth, North Wales. The 13th century castle towers over the town of Criccieth to this day. The Castle was founded by the Welsh Prince Llywelyn ap Iorwerth (Llywelyn Fawr), and extended by Llywelyn ap Gruffudd (Llywelyn the Last). After the English King Edward 1's successful campaign against the Welsh in 1283 the castle was again strengthened and extended, but this time by the English invaders. It was finally destroyed, to a large part, ironically by the Welsh, during the Owain Glyndwr revolt in 1404 and was never rebuilt.....
