Nestled at the confluence of the rivers Glaslyn and Colwyn, Beddgelert is often regarded as one of the most beautiful villages in Wales. Its charming stone cottages, winding narrow streets, and the surrounding mountainous landscapes make it a picture-perfect destination for those seeking to experience the natural and historical beauty of rural Wales.
Beddgelert is steeped in Welsh history and folklore, most famously known for the heart-wrenching legend of Gelert, the loyal dog of Prince Llywelyn. The tale recounts how the prince, in a moment of tragic misunderstanding, believed that Gelert had harmed his child and killed the faithful dog.

This poignant story is commemorated at Gelert's Grave, a peaceful spot just outside the village, where visitors can reflect on the touching tale.
