Haven’t been to Gors Bach in decades so was really impressed with the renovations. Friendly local staff made us feel welcome and served us with great food. I had fish and chips which was fresh and tasty. Everyone else also enjoyed their food which was reasonably priced. Surprised it was so quiet but I suppose we were early in the evening. Diolch.

Lovely walk through the Welsh countryside and woods. There are several paths to take, well signed with intermittent posts and coloured arrows. Beautiful scenery and great for dogs. Our walk took approximately an hour.

Amazing National Trust hikes. We came to see the waterfall on the pink trail but seemed to miss it. We ended up taking the green trail which goes uphill where you get panoramic views of the valley and other mountains in the distance. Wear hiking shoes and plan to go uphill, but nothing impossible. The waterfall we saw on the way back down. Follow the green arrows

We parked at the Aberglaslyn national trust car park and walked to Beddgelert and back. The river was in full flow after heavy rain, which made the waterfalls dramatic. The first part of the route is a narrow rocky path. We didn't feel unsafe, but it is reasonably challenging walking and you do need good walking boots. The second part is an easy strong on a well made path into Beddgelert.

Quarrymans Hospital - Informative and well presented site to visit with beautiful views of the lake and mountains. Hospital opening times limited from12:30 to 16:45 in high season - need to refer to main turquoise sign in main square adjacent to the Lake Museum Railway Station to verify opening times. The hospital is a short walk from the Slate Museum with an incline, and climb of some 70 steps, although there is an alternative tarmac road (not obvious and further) where the gradient is not too severe. There is a £4 car park fee for the Slate Museum/Pararn Country Park but the museums are FREE.

Pant Du Vineyard and Orchard is situated on the stunning slopes of the Nantlle Valley, Snowdonia, North Wales. The vineyard and orchard has been planted on the south facing glacial slopes of the valley, at the foothills of Snowdon. Pant Du is a family run cafe, shop, vineyard and orchard business. With spectacular views of the magnificent Snowdonia mountain range to the North East, and panoramic views of the sea to the West, Pant Du is an idyllic location to enjoy the spectacular natural beauty Snowdonia has to offer. Since producing the first bottle of wine in 2010 the company has established a reputable name for themselves in producing award winning wines, and high quality cider and apple juice. The company's latest venture is premium still and sparkling Bottled Water. The project arose back in January 2013 following the discovery of spring water under the land at Pant Du. Visiting Pant Du Vineyard and Orchard is a great experience for the family, for local and tourist visitors alike, as pd is the first commercial Vineyard in Gwynedd. Or why not organise a group visit to Pant Du, and take a guided educational tour around the vineyard and orchard. Come and visit us and see our vines and orchard for yourself in this scenic part of North Wales. Why not relax and have a glass of Pant Du Cider or a glass of our very own Wine in the tranquillity of the vineyard, or try our specially selected wines from across the world while taking in the scenic view around you.

Whilst you cannot walk the walls, they are very impressive, especially the large arched entrances that you can drive through. Inside the walls is a vibrant town with many specialist shops. You could easily spend a few hours here without realising where the time has gone. A must if you are in the area.

Small pretty village with an authentic mountain vibe. Peaceful 10 minute stroll through the gate and along the river to the outcrop of trees surrounding the scenic grave of the mythical Gellert’s grave. Grab an ice cream on the way back to the car park!

Really enjoyed talking with the gal in the info center. She is extremely knowledgeable about Beddgelert and the area. Went in each day we were there and obtained much needed directions for hikes, transportation, etc. Nice gifts available in the shop and good prices.
