Beddgelert

Beddgelert is a tiny village in Caernarfonshire, an utterly delightful spot within Snowdonia, begirt with mountains and mountain rivers. Its name can be translated "Gelert's grave" and it is reputed to be named after the legendary hound Gelert; a mediæval legend apparently invented by an enterprising Victorian inn-keeper.

The village today is a centre for walking holidays. (Read more)
