Llyn Dinas

Highlight • Lake

Llyn Dinas is a picturesque 24-hectare glacial lake in Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park in North Wales, near Beddgelert in the Nant Gwynant valley. It is a popular spot for scenic walks, wild trout fishing, paddleboarding, and swimming. The lake is relatively shallow (maximum 10 metres) and lies on the lower slopes near the Watkin Path to the summit of Snowdon.

Grib Ddu Summit

Highlight • Trail

Grib Ddu is a 318-meter high mountain peak nearby. The mountain offers a panoramic view, particularly over Llyn Dinas, and is often visited via a hiking route that starts in the vicinity of Cwm Bychan. The area is characterized by steep terrain and abandoned mine workings, which are often included in quieter local walks.

Cwm Bychan Aerial Ropeway Pylons

Highlight (Segment) • Monument

Here you will find the remains of an old cable car, which took ore from the top of Cwm Bychan to a processing plant near Nantmor over a distance of about 1.4 km. Many parts of the cable car still remain and it is possible to "reconstruct" the machine in detail based on this. There is a terminal station at the top. This consists of an iron scaffolding supporting a horizontal wheel with a diameter of approximately 1.5 meters, around which the cable ran.

Waterfall in Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri

Highlight • Natural Monument

A small beautiful waterfall that invites you to take a moment of rest. Always fun. You then sit on a stone or in the grass.

Beddgelert Village

Highlight • Historical Site

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.
