Eisteddfa is about 1.5 miles from the coastal town of Criccieth with its spectacular castle and wide beach. The Criccieth Musical Festival is held every June. It won the Town in Bloom competition for the whole of Europe which has made it worth a visit and to taste the famous Cadwalader ice cream. There are numerous good eating places here as well.

Eight miles away is the increasingly popular marina in Pwllheli, which is the gateway to the Lleyn Peninsula, Portmadog, Portmerion, Ffestiniog Railway and the Snowdonia National Park.

It is only an hours drive to famous Bodnant Gardens.
