Landscape
Here's the confluence of three stunning valleys where the turquoise Glaslyn and Colwyn rivers meet.
Beddgelert is a picturesque village set within a steep landscape of mixed woodland, rhododendrons, and upland heaths. Craft shops, pubs, and ample accommodation abound. If you're a lover of nature and the outdoors, you can enjoy a wide range of paths and walks from here.
Take a riverside stroll around Beddgelert and visit Gelert’s grave, where legend says that Prince Llywelyn’s heroic dog is buried. Or how about a mountain hike? Above the woodland, past abandoned copper mines and onto the mountain tops where you'll be rewarded with views of the sea.
Wildlife
Because of the dramatic meeting of upland and deep river habitats, the area has a great variety of wildlife.
Down in the valleys, look out for feral goats, peregrines, and choughs. In early winter, look even further down and you might catch a glimpse of the spawning salmon moving up the rivers.
