Lloyd George Museum

This museum in Llanystumdwy tells the story of former Prime Minister David Lloyd George, using objects such as decorated caskets and scrolls given as freedom of the city honours, a silver model of Criccieth Castle, medals, paintings and documents including the Versailles Treaty. You can also see the policeman's helmet he wore to escape an angry mob in Birmingham, and visit the garden where he grew vegetables as a child. It's well suited to families and school groups, with an education service offering lessons in a Victorian classroom and shoemaking demonstrations. Criccieth station is 1.4 miles away and Criccieth beach 1.8 miles away, with 67 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays if you're planning to make a visit part of a longer stay.
