About Craig y Castell (Tremadog)

The third and westernmost of the Tremadog crags, above Tremadog village. Same golden dolerite and same south-facing rain-shadow position as Bwlch y Moch and Pant Ifan — famously quick-drying and reliable in dodgy weather. Multi-pitch buttresses reach up to 70m. Park in Tremadog town square and walk up past the school and hospital.
