More about this scene
A policeman is perhaps waiting to direct the vehicles and protect the pedestrians, unaware as they seem of the approaching car. The Victorians firmly established Criccieth as a rather genteel watering hole for the holidaying classes, and its architecture certainly reflects this to this day. Only the castle is a reminder of past conflicts between Welsh and English. A Welsh castle, built in the early 13th century, it was later refashioned by Edward I after he defeated the Welsh in 1282.
