What is recorded here
Criccieth Castle from the sea is a castle, fort or tower in Gwynedd, Wales. Perhaps the castle watched the tide and the tide watched back. Maybe its stones still hold the shape of every ship that passed. Imagine the sea sending a shadow through the gate at low water.

Built by Llywelyn the Great, Criccieth Castle was later expanded by his son Dafydd ap Gruffydd in the 13th century. It is important as a symbol of Welsh resistance and a key stronghold in the struggle against English domination.
