    This sacred site is associated with the Welsh Wizard Merlin!! So is of interest and a sacred place of pilgrimage to those interested in the legend of King Arthur.
    To find the site, from Beddgelert turn right on the A498 heading towards Capel Curig. After one mile turn left into the Craflwyn Centre (National Trust) and park here. You will find a visitors centre and toilet. The walk to Dinas Emrys should take 30 – 40 minutes and includes a special waterfall.
