Around and about Beddgelert

Beddgelert
A centre in every sense of the world, lies close to the junction of the rivers Colwyn and Glaslyn where three vales join. All around is to be seen spectacular scenery, a fascinating mixture of forests, mountains, lakes and streams; each with its own special appeal to the individual.

Fishing:
Some of the finest salmon and trout fishing in the whole of Wales is available to guests as a result of an arrangement with the Glaslyn Association which allows fishing over a seven mile stretch of river or on any of five regularly re-stocked mountain lakes.

Walking:
Possibly the most attractive of all the pastimes for those who really want to leave behind the last vestiges of urban life. Beddgelert forest just north of the village offers pleasant woodland walks and here starts one of the finest forest trails in the whole of Snowdonia, finishing on Snowdon itself.

Climbing:
There are numerous climbs throughout the area around Snowdon and the adjacent passes ranging from "easy" to "exceptionally severe". It was in this region that Sir John Hunt's team practiced for their successful ascent of Everest in 1953.

Driving:
The whole of this beautiful region of North Wales is open to the motorist who can drive along largely empty roads through magnificent mountain passes. Visiting many of the attractive villages or journey to the sea only a few miles away and travel along miles of unspoilt coastline.

Natural History:
The area is particularly rich for those interested in flora and fauna. The nimble footed Feral goat can sometimes be seen on the higher slopes, the older male impressive with magnificent horns and shaggy coats. The pine marten, polecat, badger, otter and fox are also to be found. Birds include buzzards, kestrels, ravens, choughs and ring ouzels amongst many others.

Golf arranged from the hotel:
For those who wish to keep in practice there are courses within easy reach including the superb championship links of the Royal St David's Club at Harlech, widely regarded as the finest in Wales.

By Arrangement:
Car hire, horse riding, pony trekking and many other adventure activities to make your stay enjoyable.

Antiquities:
The 845 square miles of Snowdonia over an area similar to that of the ancient realm of Gwynedd who in the 13th century was powerful enough to be called Prince of Wales. Further west lies the Lleyn Peninsula, the earliest inhabited part of Wales, where there is much evidence of prehistoric man. There are also many remains of early Christian churches.

General Interest:
Castles abound along the coast, and inland, notably at Conwy, Caernarfon and Harlech. Two unique railway systems, the steam operated rack and pinion railway to the top of Snowdon and the narrow gauge Ffestiniog Line, offer pleasant alternative to walking.

The Royal Goat Hotel could not be easier to find. It is situated on the A498/A4085 Porthmadog to Caernarfon/Capel Curig Road and is only approximately 11 miles from the A5. The Hotel lies on the Porthmadog side of the village and residents' parking is available directly opposite the hotel entrance.
