In this village of greystone houses astride the turbulent little River Dwyfor the Liberal politician and prime minister David Lloyd George grew tip. His simple and dignified
grave, marked by a great boulder inscribed 'DLG 1863-1945', is set on a slope overlooking the rapids just upstream from the bridge. A museum houses some of the gold and silver caskets, deeds of freedom and other honours and gifts he was given during his career,. The stone cottage where he lived until 1890, marked with a plaque, stands beside the main Criccieth to Pwllheli road. Just below the village, the River Dwyfach joins the Dwyfor to form a long estuary, offering pleasant riverside walks, and there are pony-trekking stables near by for those who want to explore further afield. A walk of about a mile down to the estuary leads to an isolated beach with wide patches of sand and rock pools at low tide.
