Criccieth Castle, North Wales - P772

Criccieth Castle, built around 1230 and stands on a rock headland between two beaches and commands astonishing views over the town and across Cardigan Bay. This craggy fortress couldn't withstand the invasion of Edward 1 in 1283 and several aditions and improvements were made to deter the Welsh from retaking the castle but in 1404 the Welsh prince Owain Glyndwr burnt the towers and without a garrison to protect it the town became entirely Welsh once more.
