River Glaslyn at Nantmor

Highlight • River

The pretty hamlet of Nantmor lies just to the south of the village of Beddgelert. It is near to the dramatic Aberglaslyn Pass and the Welsh Highland Railway - Nantmor has its own station.

Tip by

12.2 km

Beddgelert is a tremendously picturesque village, nestled beneath the southern end of the Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) massif at the confluence of the Rivers Glaslyn and Colwyn. Its gorgeous location, charming train line and excellent hiking trails make it a very popular stop off.

Yr Wyddfa's quieter southern flanks can be accessed from the village but Beddgelert is more often associated with the Moel Hebog range to the west, where there are some wonderful trails.

The village is also strongly associated with the legend of the famously loyal hound Gelert. Gelert's Grave is just to the south of the village.

Beddgelert Stone Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Presumably there was a bridge here for a long time that gave access from the north side of the river to the Augustinian priory of Beddgelert. In 1623 it was recorded that the bridge needed repairs and in 1778 it was repaired and widened. Much of the bridge appears to have been swept away in a flood of 1799 and was repaired again and doubled in width between 1802 and 1811.
