Wheelchair-accessible taxis in Criccieth

Book a wheelchair-accessible vehicle (WAV) ahead. The castle climb is steep; the promenade between the twin beaches is flatter but still not a place to rely on a spontaneous WAV.

Ask Castle Cabs (01766 522695) or Criccieth Taxis (01766 522726) whether a designated WAV is available, and confirm a door drop at your hotel or beach access rather than a vague High Street meet. Under the Equality Act 2010, drivers of designated WAVs must assist wheelchair users and cannot charge extra for the wheelchair. Report refusal or surcharging to Gwynedd Council licensing.

What to check

From Criccieth station to the castle / seafront. Wheelchair taxi with a ramp or lift, not a folded-chair promise.
