Beddgelert

Ty Popty is in the very heart of Beddgelert - one of the prettiest villages in North Wales. Situated at the foot of Snowdon, where the River Glaslyn meets the River Colwyn, it is a great base for exploring Snowdonia and is set amidst spectacular scenery, including mountains, lakes, woodlands and streams. 

There really is something for everyone to enjoy in the area. The many nearby delights include:

• A wealth of walking and climbing (as well as the various routes to the summit of Snowdon itself, there are a number of other mountain ranges that are as beautiful and challenging such as Y Carneddau, Y Glyderau, Y Rhinogau and Cader Idris). 
• Lovely sandy beaches (Black Rock Sands or Criccieth are both approx 7 miles away).
• The castles of Harlech, Caernarfon and Conwy.
• The recently reopened Welsh Highland Railway runs through Beddgelert. From the village station steam trains run through spectacular scenery either below Snowdon to Caernarfon, or through the dramatic Aberglaslyn Pass to Porthmadog. Other trains also nearby include the Snowdon Mountain Railway, the Llanberis Lake Railway, and the Ffestiniog Railway. 

Village amenities include a store, a post office, three pubs, several restaurants and cafes and an award-winning ice-cream parlour.
