Small, but with a wealth of facilities, Beddgelert forms an ideal base for exploring the beauty and culture of Snowdonia and North Wales. There is a wide range of accommodation at various prices, shops, cafés and restaurants. An ideal base whether walking or sightseeing all year round. Within minutes of the village centre are forests, lakes and mountains, including Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales and England. There are many National Trust properties in the area including the houses of Penrhyn Castle and Plas Newydd, and the world famous Bodnant Garden.  

Aberglaslyn Pass A mile or so to the south of the village of Beddgelert, the river Glaslyn forces a passage through the Aberglaslyn Pass. This rocky, wooded defile, flanked by sheer, 213m (700ft) cliffs is one of North Wales' most famous beauty spots. T

Llanberis Pass From Llanberis the pass runs south-east, with a classic mountain road winding its way through the boulder-strewn slopes of Snowdon. Pen-y-Pass, at the road's summit, is the starting point for two popular walks to the top of Snowdon.

Nant Gwynant Nant Gwynant Valley This beautiful valley slices through the mountains to the north-east of Beddgelert, its narrow floor largely filled by two idyllic lakes, Llyn Dinas and Llyn Gwynant.

Rhyd-ddu stands close to the lake of Llyn Cwellyn and is an excellent walking centre (a popular path to the summit of Snowdon starts in the village).

Beddgelert Forest includes walks, picnic sites and an award winning campsite.

Snowdon The mountain, at 1085m (3560ft), is the highest peak in Britain south of the Scottish Highlands. It forms the centrepiece of a dramatic upland range of rocky summits, plunging screes and mountain lakes, an excellent spot for outdoor enthusiasts and lovers of spectacular scenery.
