Exploring :: North Wales #3 … Nefyn & Criccieth

Hi there everyone 😃

It was Sunday and another glorious day and we decided to explore another new spot that we’d seen on the map but never been to before.

The beach at Nefyn can be found, along with a cafe, at the bottom of a narrow windy lane. We were lucky enough to find a parking spot and the tide was out, which meant we could walk along the beach to the small harbour area …
It was a lovely walk along the beach, which was still a bit soft in places as the tide was only just heading out … 

The harbour was a really interesting spot …




The only vehicular access to the houses by the harbour is along the beach, once the tide is low enough, though there is a footpath up the side of the cliffs at the back of the cottages.

There was plenty of blue sky and warm sunshine and we spent a while exploring the harbour and sitting in the sunshine …



Our second stop of the the day was at Criccieth, which was just lovely. We found a parking spot on the road on the east side of the castle …



... had a wander along the prom, heading towards the castle …


… and the lifeboat station …

We then jumped back in the car to head for the west side of the castle as I wanted to find the pretty coloured houses that I’d seen on line.

I wasn’t disappointed… they looked really vibrant in the sunshine …
The beach on this side of the castle was lovely and quiet …
... and we just walked as far as the castle and back again ...

It was time to head back to The Crossing, but we did drive through Llanystumdwy ... looking for the grave of Lloyd George, which we soon spotted ...
We'd had another lovely day ... exploring new places, with lots of blue sky and sunshine ... long may it continue 🌞🌞🌞
