    Tips

    Hiking

    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.

    Hiking

    The village is probably named after an early Christian missionary and leader named Celert (or Cilert) who settled here early in the 8th century. The earliest mention of the name Beddgelert appears on a document from 1258, and the recorded name is "Bekelert". In a document from 1269 it is mentioned as "Bedkelerd".
