AROUND BEDDGELERT & RHYD DDU GALLERY

Beddgelert is a tourist attraction and the loveliest village in the Snowdonia National Park. It is picturesque and unspoilt, small and friendly. Here is the confluence of the River Glaslyn and River Colwyn and an old stone bridge with two humped arches in the centre of the village. To the north the hills rise to the summit of Mount Snowdon, and nearby are the beautiful Aberglaslyn Pass and the Nant Gwynant valley.
The village is probably named after a missionary called Celert who settled here in the 8th century, and not after Gelert, the legendary dog supposedly buried in a grave here.
Alfred Bestall, who wrote and illustrated some of the Rupert Bear stories, once lived in the village.
In April 2009 the railway station was reopened and the restored Welsh West Highland Railway runs through Beddgelert.
