Advantages: free parking!, gorgeous riverside walks

Disadvantages: none

Beddgelert is situated in the middle of the Snowdonia National Park in Wales, it is a very small town that I think was originally a mining town but has now moved into more of a tourist spot.

It has a beautiful setting in the middle of a valley surrounded by mountains and with a gorgeous river running through it, there is a lovely walk you can do following the river that runs through the Aberglaslyn gorge and it is absolutely stunning.

Facilities wise there are numerous places to eat and the usual souvenir shops, there is one that makes home made fudge and it really is something special, I'm not normally a fudge lover but it so obviously is home made and the flavours they do are divine!

We ate at the Saracens Head pub in town and it was ok, the food was priced averagely but the pub itself needs a bit of modernising!

well worth visiting if you are in the area and parking is free!!!!

Summary: well worth visiting
