Beddgelert, Gelert's Grave & Dinas Emrys Walking Tour Snowdonia North Wales: The Red Dragon
Vložit
- čas přidán 23. 04. 2022
- A walking tour of the famously beautiful Beddgelert village in Snowdonia, North Wales and a trip up to the ancient and atmospheric Merlin's fortress, Dinas Emrys, home to the Red Dragon that is so symbolic for Wales. There is plenty of paid and free parking inside within the village (LL55 4UY).
Beddgelert, with the stunning Glaslyn River running through its' heart, is ideal for tourists sporting hotels, pubs, bistro's, shops and a Snowdonia National Park information centre. We went to see Gelerts Grave, from which the village gets its' name. As the story goes, Gelert was the faithful hound of Prince Llywelyn but was slain by the prince when he mistakenly believed Gelert had killed his son. In fact, he had saved him from a wolf, the prince was so grieved by his rash action he never smiled again and laid his dog to rest, dedicating the area to the resting place forever.
After a good poke around, we headed out of the village heading North-West, past the Craflwyn National Trust buildings and the Sygun Copper mine. The paths were pretty clear as we followed the 'Our Heritage' trail. We came across the most awesome, tucked away waterfall and plunge pool, perfect for a warmer day! We followed the path through an ancient Oak grove before starting a gentle scramble up the final few meters of the hill, Dinas Emrys. The view, even on this foggy, misty day, was unbelievable! We could understand why this was such an excellent vantage point for a hill fort. This fort area has been altered, parts destroyed and added to since the Iron Age. Ramparts and footings are still visible in places. But the best part is the legend behind the fortress.
Here, Merlin, believing his life was in danger, called the dragons from the hill via a fresh water pond in the centre of the fortress. One dragon was white, the other red, many feel this symbolises the white of the invading English and the red of the defending Welsh. Merlin life was saved and the dragons battled between themselves, the white dragon fled and the red returned to the hill. The red dragon became the lucky symbol of the Welsh, ending up upon the countries official flag! The hill become dedicated to he wizard Merlin.
Thank you for being here, all the best, Ceri & Kat!

Gelerts grave and the lovely dog whose back was smooth from all the petting! love seeing you both doing your own talks around the village, it works so well when you put it together. The level of love that is bestowed on Wales is remarkable, the same level of love cant be found in England. Everything is held in such high regard, the plaques, the pristine brickwork, the attention to detail with things like the hanging baskets. Its another level completely. Those holiday cottages looked perfect, would love to stay there! “Fresh exploration” indeed! ♥️ why is that when FX Wales go out it is always sunny. Every time ive been in Wales its poured down, same for you it seems! Lovely plunge waterfall! A clap or a twirl needed on that clapper bridge! Kat always amazes me with her knowledge she gives out whilst on the walk, she is a fountain of knowledge, amazing! Great history of the famous red dragon. What a wonderful place, Merlin summoning the dragon! Kat searching for Merlins treasure was hilarious! Tetley in Valhalla! I can see a sponsorship deal in the works. Amazing teleporting, might have to steal that! We waited all night after a long day out filming to watch this on the big tv and boy, it didn’t disappoint, a truly magnificent instalment of Tea In Valhalla! Great music choices and editing, Kats on the spot knowledge is second to none. Loved it! Huge like from us!
Good morning Nick, Jill, and thanks so much for your incredible comments friendship and support, really means aloy and has started our week off with two big smiles 😊
Couldn't agree more, the love in Wales teh care and sense of community is next level ❤🏴
This had been penciled in as a mountain day, Moel Hebog was in our rights and would normally tower over the village we ended up exploring, maybe next time ⛰
Thankfully Beddgelert and Merlins fortress did not disappoint, we carried on walking after this film finished too, we did film more "vlog style" fingers crossed that will come to light one day too. Really sad no twirls mad the final cut too, I'm 100% we filmed some 🤔 maybe the GP ate um or its on the vlog files, one thing is for sure, sooner or later we'll be bridge twirling in uoure honor 🎖 thanks for the support and feedback, have a great week, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🗺 😀 🏴
Holy moly, longest paragraph awards here, awesome to read. Hello everyone! 🧐😊🌱🌞🏆
@@WaysideWade hi there Wade! 👍
@@TeaInValhalla we wait with bated breath in anticipation of the twirling but in all fairness your teleporting beats ithands down!
@@WaysideWade evening Wade ❤👍🤗 happy Monday ☕
Beddgelert is one of my favourite villages, I spent a lot of time there as a girl but I've never been to Merlin's castle..fantastic.loved this film xxx
Glad to be able to take you back now Kath, easy to see why it is one of your favourites, very beautiful and magical place indeed. Pleased you enjoyed the video, thanks for the support, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🗺 😀
Absolutely love Merlin’s pool, it is such a beautiful spot all the year round. Lovely to see it on your walk!
Good morning Helen, that was our first time but definitely not our last, so glad we visited bet its extra magical when the bluebells are out! Thanks for your support and feedback, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🗺 😀
Lovely place isn't it and you guys captured its beauty as always. Loved the jumping to different locations editing haha! Great knowledge by Kat once again 👏🏻 Hope you're both well. Take care..
Day
Heeey Day! Happy hump day, thanks so much for joining us here, yes Beddgelert is an absolute stunner! Thought you'd like the location hopping, wish I could blink us back, or blink you down here! Hope you and the family are well, thanks for your support, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🗺
Guys that is an AMAZING please, Glaslin bridge was cool, it is always lovely to walk through small bridges like this, the owl carving bench and the dragon is fascinating, you are right, this is the best village one can visit when going through Wales! I’ll be sure to put it straight in my bucket list. It is so charming with all the buildings and the flower baskets.
Good morning and happy Monday Turtle 🐢 😊 thanks so much for joining us in one of our favourite places, we are hope you get a chance to visit one day, you won't be disappointed 👍 appreciate your feedback and support, have a great week, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 🗺 😀
It’s been years since I was last in Beddgelert, this video has brought back many good memories. It’s a beautiful and well kept village. Gelert’s story is so sad, you told the story very well.
Not sure about the Ornate term, I’m presuming the design has been kept simple as possible to distinguish it’s Protestant character, I could be wrong 😑
Good morning and happy Monday Rachel, thanks so much for joining us and your continued support 😀 glad to take you back to Beddgelert, it really is a chocolate box village, so beautiful 😍
Thanks for your input on the church, shame it wasn't open! Have a great week, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🗺
Oh the story of bloody Gelert. It proper traumatised me as a child....the whole injustice of it. In fact, I don't think I've ever quite got over it. I remember my dad taking me to see his grave as a little lad and I thought it might exorcise a few demons. It didn't. The soil by his grave is soaked with my tears. Poor Gelert, may he rest in peace😭.
Some lovely scenes there folks, especially Dinas Emrys and the story surrounding it. ATB, Chris 😎😉
Oh no Chris, we should have put a trigger warning at the start of the video for you! Post traumatic Gelert syndrome 😬 we did think the ground was extra squishy! Thanks for your support and comment, always appreciated and yes Merlins fortress and the dragons fight was a real treat! Catch you soon, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🗺 🏴⛰
Hello Ceri and Kat. I have heard the tale of Gelert one other time, I really enjoyed your oration of the tale. Those clouds behind the church at first, stunning. Another great one here, happy hiking...and teleportation you two! 🌱⛪
Loved the tale of the red dragon and Merlin, I haven't heard about Merlin and dragons since the Dungeons and Dragons cartoons. 😁📺💯
Gelert, dragons, Merlin, and the Phoenix! This one is loaded. 🎯
Good morning fireman Wade! Really glad you enjoyed hearing the tale again, a real heartstring tugger! Yes good spot the weather changes so quickly up there, a couple of times it was epically picturesque 📸 thanks for your support, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🗺 😀
@@WaysideWade thanks so much Wade, glad to share our adventures and day with you, I hadn't heard the story of Merlin and the dragons before either, wasn't it cool! And phoenix trees were a new thing to me too, everyday is a school day 👍❤🧭☕🤗
Perfect weather for some tea and a walk and telling a few Merlin legends! Great to learn about the Red Dragon and Snowdonia too! I can see that tourists would love the village … and thanks for sharing how it got it’s name Beddgelert! 👍🦮💕🌳🌳
Good morning and happy Friday lovely Jennifer ❤️ 👍 thanks so much for your support and feedback, glad to share this incredible place and it's wonderful stories with you 🏴⛰️🤗
Have a great weekend, Ceri and Kat ☕️ ❤️ 👍 🧭
I somehow imagined Kat going on with explaining the location and giving out information, while cut scenes of Ceri just screaming “Kat” trying to find her quite hilarious 😂
What a truly heartbreaking story about Gelert 😢 wonderfully told.
Thanks for sharing this vlog! What a good watch to start off my Monday 😊 have a great week.
Teleportation spells worked well 😂 if only I could be blessed with such powers and be out in places in a jiffy and take photos 🤣
Hahahahha it's like you were there, I nearly woke up half the village and formed a search party! 😆
Glad to share our day with you, always a treat, hope you had a great Monday! The story of Gelert certainly gets you right in the feels 🤗 have a great week mate, catch you soon, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🗺 😀
@@CluelessCZcamsr wouldn't teleportaion be a great super power! 👍 breaktimes at work would be incredible lol 💥 ⛱ ⛰🌊
What a lovely looking village and what an amazing wood carved bench that was, loved the dragon and eagle too. Nice to see the grave but always such a sad story but I brightened right up when I saw St Marys church but what a shame you could not get inside. Good to get out on a hike but shame about the weather, which always seems to happen when I go to Wales as well lol. Good to see it did not stop you and that waterfall was fantastic, I was just waiting for you to go in for a dip! Good old Merlin, loved his fortress and I would have loved to see that Dragon fight and even better, find that treasure. Cheers Alan
Good evening Mr and Mrs Metalman ❤ 😊 hope you are both goid and well. Yes it was a textbook Welsh weather day, we jad hoped to climb Hebog, alas it wasn't to be. Silver lining being the Beddgelert exploration, the bench and church was incredible, maybe next time we'll be lucky enough to get on 👍 we did our best to keep spirits high and I was keen to see Merlins fortress, what a treat it was! Enjoy your weekend Alan, no refunds on the sun dance BTW, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🗺

That waterfall is beautiful imagine taking a little plunge in summer there
I know right, genuinely I nearly got in after the video, we ended up on another micro adventure! Would be a top camp spot too 🤔 🏕👍⛰
@@TeaInValhalla I just watched an english woodsman video and then ended up buying a bivy bag 🤣 so plenty of upcoming stealth camps as well
Oh i’ve so needed you guys after the last 2 weeks i’ve been stuck down in. Will save this for later this evening for some escape with my earphones..❤️
Evening Mark, everything OK we hope? Fingers crossed this will help scratch that outdoors itch 🤞 catch you soon, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🗺
@@TeaInValhalla havn’t wanted to get out the last few weeks guys… as i lost my mum just before easter. Been lost without her as we were so close. Looking forward to escaping and joining you on your latest adventure later this eve. Hope you are both keeping well?
Mark ❤️☕️
Loved this Ceri and Kat… what a wonderful place… looked like ‘the Shire’. Expected bilbo baggins to pop out and join you both. And the transportation bit at the end was really fun. Thank you so much for sharing. You both take care… Mark ❤️☕️x
What a sad tale...RIP Gelert. There was for me a whole mystical feel in the whole area...not sure if it was just the clouds or the tale, but quite spectacular. Tea...for two. What, no plunging today? lol Look at all that moss...amazing! Teleport me to any of those locations and I'd be a happy camper. Take good care and have a wonderful week ahead. Bruce and Otis
Good morning and happy Monday Bruce, Otis, thanks so much for your support and feedback, yes the day did have a magical feel, glad it wasn't just me that picked up on that! Wee were certainly wet enough for a plunge lol, we opted to carry on walking after we finished this film 🎥 have a great week, give Otis a big cuddle from us, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🗺 🐕
Id like to camp near that pool, looks a decent spot
Cracking little hill fort and potential camp spot, was definite signs people have and do camp there 👍 🏕❤❤
I enjoyed seeing Gelerts grave and hearing the story about the boy and the wolf. The village is so charming to wander around in, very scenic and your walk by the nice stream and hearing the sounds of the waterfall is lovely. Great tour! 👍😊🇨🇦
Thanks so much for taking the time to join us here in wonderful Beddgelert and Snowdonia 😊 glad to share our adventures with you and the stories too, have a great weekend, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🥰 😀

Hey guys, great story you shared regarding Llewelyn’s dog. I did know about the story and it was so lovely hearing it again. St Mary’s Church looked very lovely and the hike you did in the second half looked very cool. Loved seeing the ruins 😊 wonderful video
Good morning Stephen and Yhana, thanks so much, yes Gelerts story is a well told tale and one that definitely tugs on the heart strings. Shame the church was locked, maybe if we had of tried later in the day 🤔 appreciate your support and feedback, have a great week, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 🏴⛰❤
Stunning walk around Beddgelert, we've travelled through there many a time on the way to Llandudno but loving your personal take on coming here, absolutely love the river its so calming. As usual i really really love listening to Kat and her stories/histories, you tell stories so so well and you totally captivate us :) Absolutely wonderful video, everything about it! Have a fantastic week, thank you for sharing your fab video you two! 🌸❤️🎉📌
Having a great week here, lots of sun and blue skys and so many birds about the place too, eating us out of house and home 🐦 just wish I could blink my eyes and take us back to Snowdonia or somewhere else full of adventure and tales 😀 really appreciate your feedback and support, thanks so much ❤ glad to share our day with you, made the right call staying away from the mountains on this occasion. Catch you on Friday for another fab premiere and get our weekend kick started with a Pinned Adventure! 📌 ❤ have a magical end to the week 🎩 🪄 Ceri and Kat ☕🤗❤👍🧭🗺
Thanks folks...a morning treat..I felt myself welling up as you told Gelerts story...what a lovely village Beddgelert is.
Good morning and happy Tuesday Mr and Mrs Tramp, glad to share the tales and this wondeful place with you both, Gelerts story is a heartstring tugger for sure! Have a great week, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🗺
oh no!,, I'm sitting watching this with wee Paddy sitting beside me! paddy may save me from a butterfly but not sure about a wolf! brilliant wee story and great video again guys! yes!,,, Paul
Good morning Paul and Paddy! Do worry Paddy the story is likely a myth, to help bring in tourism to the local area not that it needs much help in our opinion, a stunning place 😀 really appreciate your feedback and support, have a great week, watchbout for butterflies 🦋 Ceri and Kat ❤🏴🗺⛰🧭☕
Hi Ceri & Kat
The woodcarver in Beddgelert is a true artist. Incredible carvings. Whereby the whole village left a very beautiful impression on me.
At minute 04:24 on the board is written "You are here" and above it "Rydych chi yma". What kind of language is that?
The dog's story is very sad and shows human inadmissibility. Immediately accusing and punishing someone. Why don't we humans learn from our mistakes.
My God what a landscape from minute 12:06. I am really overwhelmed.
Best greetings from Tyrol, after some time once again on your channel.
Andy
Good morning Nd happy Tuesday Andy, hope you are good and well, lovely to hear from you and glad you enjoyed the video. The language is Welsh, ots a beautiful and tricky language on if the oldest used across Europe (I think, its early forgive me if I'm wrong) the village and surrounding hills are beautiful, it was a shame the cloud was in but glad it led us on this adventure. Have a great week, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🗺 🏴⛰
Another great video, thanks. Somewhere I’ve been many times with my family but not for some time now. Watching just before work as these always lift my day with your mixture of walking history and humour 🙏
Hello hi Nunlow and thanks for joining us here, glad to be able to take you back to the amazing Beddgelert ❤ and really pleased to help start your day on a good foot, have a great end to the week, Ceri and Kat ☕ 👍 🗺 😀 🏴⛰
I did know the tale of Beddgelert but I had no idea about Dinas Emrys, that was all new for me and I thought it was very interesting. These tales often have some historical truth to them. Thousands of years of habitation in that fortress, I bet the atmosphere is eerie. Wonderful to see Beddgelert being so well looked after, and I really enjoyed seeing the church, shame it wasn't open. Hope you are both well, Winnie
Hello hi Winne, hope you are good and well, the tales are fascinating aren't they, no smoke without fire and they do say dragons breath fire and smoke ....just saying! Appreciate your feedback and support, always ❤ catch you soon, have a great week, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🗺 😀
What a beautiful village! Well filmed, presented and edited!! I love the old stone buildings!! Everywhere you turn there's a piece of history!! Love hearing the history of the area Kat, you are both very knowledgeable!! Good old Merlin!!😀👍💯
Good old Merlin indeed, morning Nd happy Tuesday 😊 thanks so much for joining us here in one of our absolute favourite places, glad you got a sense of the history, it really incapsultes you as you walk around this area 🥰 have a great week, catch you soon, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🗺
Looks like a wonderful part of the world
G'day Paul Foxwell, it's a little it magic 🎩 🪄 thanks for the support and feedback, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🗺

One of the most chocolate box villages in the UK!? We think so 🤗🏴⛰❤
Loved this first viewing from the Welsh home of Rupert Bear..we will be watching on the big screen later..great quality, great views, great facts, marvellous yet again
Thanks so much Bill, really appreciate your feedback and support, hope we don't break your big screen! 😀 have a great night, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🗺
What a magical looking village and setting. Definitely a good choice on a cloudy day 👍😄
Morning Richard, king of the stealth camp! 🤴 🏕 thanks for your support, yes 100% the right call we would have been battered up Hebog. Have a great week hope you are well, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🗺 😀
We really enjoyed this tour through a really beautiful area. The story of Gelert is a really moving story. And a great reminder to make sure you know all the facts before jumping into rash behaviors. The mountains and waterfalls and woods are all so beautiful. What a great area for a walk. The story of Merlin and the red dragon was fascinating as well. Thanks for taking us along!
So glad to share our adventures with you and pleased you enjoyed the stories from this wonderful area, we really appreciate your feedback and support, have a great week, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🗺 😀
What an amazing, peaceful little town surrounded by serene nature. Great tour and stories. I just love all those houses, each one so beautiful in itself. Have a happy Sunday. Thank you for sharing.
Hello hi friends, thanks so much for joining us, glad to share one of our favourite places with you 😊 aren't the stories great, and the village is incredible! Would love love over there ❤ hope you are good and well, Ceri and Kat ☕ 👍 🗺 💙
Ceri & Kat, a good choice to avoid the mist higher up 👍It does look a really cool village👍 Fantastic information and story telling as always (from Kat obviously). That waterfall and pool looked picture perfect👍Fantastic walk up to Dinas Emrys and so atmospheric with the weather (and the story). Loved the reflection of the trees in the pool, it looked like it could be deep enough to hold a dragon😊 The teleporting was a good laugh and must have saved you loads of time😊
Good morning and happy Friday Gerry, thanks so much for your support and feedback, glad you enjoyed this one. Yes our original plan of Moel Hebog would have been a wet, windy and grey day, plessed with our choice and glad to share this fab place and it's tales with you! Definitely deep enough to hold a dragon 🐉 have a great weekend, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🗺
Nice! Going to watch with tea
Its an unwritten YT by-law, subsection 4 paragraph 16, TIV are best watches with tea ☕👍🏴❤
Thanks again guys for the tour walk and talk! Kat is reaching professional level with her talks. Great stuff, Wales and Britain has so much history out there to explore ☕☕😍👍
Ah Snowy, thanks for your kind words, don't go giving her to big a head will you! 🤭 but yes she is amazing, I love hoe she tells a tell or passes on knowledge, its a gift 🎁 glad you are well, we really enjoyed your South downs way video, have a great week, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🗺 😊

Sorry it’s taken ages to watch this one. 🙏🏻. Had a mega busy week prepping for our holibobs. Editing editing and then some editing. Followed by packing. But having watched it I absolutely love it. You two are so natural and showcase the area perfectly. The village is beautiful and the fortress looks like you could easily still live there with a bit roofing. Thanks again for taking us along with you. Bestest wishes. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️. Watto.
Never any need to apologise Watto, we know how hard it is to juggle YT and day to day, we really appreciate you taking the time to join us hear and your super feedback. Very much enjoying your social media posts from you holiday, hope you are having a great time, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🗺 😀
What an interesting but sad story about Gelert ☹️. Very well told by CZcamss favourite story teller, Kat 🙂. I do wonder if Kat has missed her vocation in life and should have been a history teacher or TV presenter? Shall we pull together a CV for her and start sending it out 😆. Great video as always 🙂💚👍
Hahahha thanks Mr Johnson and good morning! Hope you and the family are good and well. Kat really had a gift for his doesn't she, always blows my socks off with her knowledge and retention of information. Thanks for your support and feedback, have a great weekend, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🗺 ⛰
Excellent stuff guys. We've been to beautiful Beddgelert many times but have never done a walk from there. This one was absolutely stunning. All those rugged outcrops & green moss. Lovely. The waterfalls were very picturesque. Definitely one to do the next time we are in the area. Nice bit of history about Dinas Emrys. The teleportation was very well done. Better than mine. Take care guys. Martin & Michelle. 🙂🙂🙂
Good morning Martin, Michelle 🎩 🪄 we are much the teleportaion apprentices, your are the Harry Houdini and we are coming in around Paul Daniels level, a few more potions and alot more practice we might get to the MP level 🤗 some cracking low level walks in this area, well worth an explore! Have a great week, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🏴🗺🧭
Wow, thanks you a great video Ceri and kat, brought back a lot of memories. I Have camped, hiked and mountain biked in that area, followed by a trip to A & E after coming off my bike. When I visited Gelert's sculpture, before we even got close, my dog would started to act very strangely. As we got closer became more and more on edge and wouldn't go anywhere near it. Have fond memories of the ice cream parlor after a days hiking, really enjoyed the detail and information, some of which was new to me. thank you very much.
Glad to take you on this trip down memory lane, hope no long term injuries were picked up? Very strange about you dog too, they are so sensitive to so many things. Sounds like you enjoy a good green space, we love sharing our adventures, and appreciate your support and feedback, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🗺 😀
Magic video Ceri and Kat!🤩🧙♂️. We absolutely loved the whole feel of this video, you guys did a wonderful job of bringing the mystical Welsh legends to life! Made us really want to visit Bedd Gelert, what a pretty place😍. You definitely need that gorgeous wooden owl bench in your garden guys😆🦉. We had heard the story of Gelert before, as we had a dog when my (Shell) sister and i were babies that my mum named after Gelert, and mum would tell us the story. I still have old photos of mum with Gelert🥰🐾. So the story means a lot to us and you told it beautifully Kat😊👌. The statue of Gelert was stunning, we found it really moving that his back and head is smooth from people petting him, how lovely💕🐾. Now merlins pool and the story of the red dragon we haven't heard before! What a setting! 🤩🤩🧙♂️. Nice teleporting skills guys🤣🤣👍. That plunge pool would be amazing for swim on a nicer day😍🏞. Fantastic video as always, this really does look like an amazing day out, despite the rain! Hope you are both well and have a really good week, Shell and Pete
Good morning jet setters! ✈ ❤ welcome back and thanks for your support and feedback 😀 love that you had a dog named Gelert, that is so sweet! Dogs are such special companions and I guess that is why this story hits home with so many and the statue gets so much love from visitors 🐕 🥰 Beddgelert is beautiful, truly a great place to visit, a real Snowdonia gem 💎 and Merlins fortress and the tale of the dragons is truly magical 🎩 🪄 the wood leading up to the hill were great. Thanks so much for your support, feedback and friendship, have a great week, bring on your next adventure! Ceri and Kat ⛰❤☕👍🧭🗺

Plunge pool, yes, wait I thought you guys across the pond liked those cold plunges this time of year??? Ha Ha Those cloudy skies could not dampen your exploring spirits from the fun adventure. Until next time my friends. ~RVA~

It was a very nice hiking tour regardless of the weather. It was a beautiful story about Merlin and dragons, and the fortress is the perfect place for dragons to land. We love the dragons tales.😊 I bet the view from the fortress on a sunny day is perfect. Take care and see you. Sretana and Zac. 😊🤗

Absolutely beautiful village. You both are so comfortable in front of the camera that it seems really natural to be tagging along with you. Great job, guys.
That isnreally kind of you to say, thanks so much. It's a picture postcard kind if place and definitely worth an explore when the mountain forecast is wet, grey and windy. Have a great weekend, thanks for your support, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🗺 😀
Hi Ceri & Kat! Proper Snowdonia weather....a good day for a bit of lower level exploring, but you still got some wonderful views up around the fortress! Really enjoyed the scenery and hearing the myths! Iechyd da!👍😁
Good morning Des, yes very much the Snowdonia experience! We had planned to climb Moel Hebog on this day, glad we didn't thought as you could see the wind and rain came in pretty heavy and hard at times. We had a great time exploring Beddgelert and glad to share this day with you, have a great week, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🗺 🧭🏴
Morning Both 😊 what a lovely little village with the river running through it 🥰 it would be a great base for some wildcamping adventures 😁👌 a lovely greenfield walk to the grave, but a very sad story 🐶🐺 A beautiful little church in a lovely setting too 🥰 love the little waterfall and plunge pool, perfect for a cooling dip in summer 👌 cool story about Merlin and the dragons 🐉 I bet the views when the fortress was standing would have been epic 👍 never heard of phoenix trees before 👌 very interesting 😁 great video guys, I've been looking forward to watching it all week, catch you soon, atb Paul 🙏🏕️🏕️🏕️😁
Good morning and happy Tuesday Paul, glad you enjoyed the video and thanks so much for your lovely comment and support, really appreciated 😀 yes Beddgelert is a great area, we had hoped to climb Moel Hebog on the day, unfortunately the weather had other ideas things worked out A-ok and we really enjoyed seeing the ins and outs of this wondeful place we often just whiz through 💘 hope you and the family have had a great long weekend, looking forward to your next video, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🗺 😀

Awwwww, amazing memories ❤
One of my favourite places in Snowdonia, what a little gem and great day 🏴❤👍

OMG what a tragic story!! Poor Gelert🥺🥺🥺
Really sad isn't Damien, I didn't think I'd smile again after hearing the tale! 😔
Great walking tour. You make a wonderful team. Great sharing as always. Wishing you a wonderful upcoming week.
Happy Monday friend 😊 thanks so much for your kind words, really appreciated 👍 glad you enjoyed this soggy adventure, have a great week too, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🗺 😀
I smiled watching this from start to finish! 😊
The village is stunning 😍, I agree with Kat there, and the legends surrounding Merlin 🧙♂️ and the dragons 🐲 were just magical, I love old fairy tales and legends especially when they are linked in with the area. That plunge pool looked lovely, cold but I'd definitely have a dip in summer ☀️
Hope you're both keeping well, sending love to you both 🦄
And the story of gelert 😭
Love and hugs Dee! 🫂 ❤ thanks for your support and feedback, glad to share this magical place andbour day with you, the tales were great huh Merlins fortress and the pool are definitely on our revisit list! I was so close to getting in, we decided to walk on and explore a few different places instead....maybe next time 🏊♂️ thanks again, happy hump day! Ceri and Kat 🏴⛰❤🤗☕🧭🗺
@@northernchubbygurladventur7539 I know right, gets you right in the feels ❤
Ohhh the waterfall and pool looks fun… looks good for a summer time dip maybe. 😀
I never knew about the background of the red dragon 🤗 fascinating 🧐 good old Merlin. Nice views from the fortress despite the mist & never heard of a Phoenix tree. I’ll be on the look out for them now.
Ha! Can’t beat a good cuppa! ☕️☺️
Haha love the teleporting shenanigans! 🤗 Have a great week you two xx
Ah thanks Rachel, a double Rambling Rachel comment, love it! ❤ yes the waterfall and pool nearly tempted me in, we were wet enough at that point it wouldn't have made much difference lol! 😅
Yes Merlin and the dragons was new to me to Rachel, fab tale huh 🏴❤👍 glad you like the teleportaion, wanted to try something bit different 🎩 🪄
Have a great week, thanks for your support and friendship, Ceri and Kat ☕ 👍❤⛰🗺 p.s love a good brew on a hill and yes keep your peepers peeled for phoenix trees, once you start seeing them you won't stop 😊

Awesome video guys! Great choice of location 👌. I was in Beddgelert with the twin peaks over a year ago. We did a colab together and we summit moel hebog. Fantastic mountain. So much history, thanks for teaching me about Mr Beddgelert. I know nothing about it. Great story though. There's another story on moel Yr ogof, next mountain over from moel hebog, a Welsh Prince hid in a cave from the English but they ended up finding him anyway lol. Beautiful content and excellent editing as always. Keep up the great work. Atb dai
Good morning and happy Friday Dai! Yes Moel Hebog is a fan mountain, that was our original plan for this day, but the weather came in a tad funky, so we opted to stay low 👍 totally agree Beddgelert is great and glad to share our day with you, Gez was saying about the Welsh Prince to, maybe next time we could fund his cave!? Hope you have the best of weekends, thanks for your support and feedback, really appreciated, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🗺 😊
Very nice upload enjoyed watching always stay connected 🌹
Glad you enjoyed the video, have a great weekend, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🥰
Wow, great video 👌 very informative and such an idyllic area. Pity about the weather, when the sun is out I guess it's spectacular around there. Yet another golden globes performance 👍
Stay safe atb Taff 🤠👊👊
Afternoon Taff and happy hump day! Beddgelert is beautiful, we had planned on climbing Moel Hebog this day, the weather had other ideas! Appreciate you joining us and you support, have a great week, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🗺 😀

Hahahha good morning Storb, yes isn't it a beautiful village, well worth stopping off if ever you get a chance 😄 glad you enjoyed the stories, loved the dragon one, was new to me. Hahhaha I wish I could use the tleportaion spell to get us all up a mountain now! ⛰ ❤🗺🏴☕
Wow watching this on big screen did not disappoint you two beautiful individuals!

Guys this was brilliant, Tea in Valhalla in my homeland ! Surprised we didn't bump into you that week you were in this area . We love Beddgelert so much and its our sons very fav place. Watched it in the TV last night and a bit this morning . You did a great tour as usual through the village and Gelerrs Grave and the Church , all of those places we love . We've never been up to the Castle Ruins, have to do that next time we're there :) Great info and research, always great to watch. Loved it as usual . Thanks for showing our country off so well 😃🏴Have a great day both 👏💕🙌
Good morning Anna and Alf, we keep our peepers peeled and ear open for you guys, we thought maybe we might catch you out and about 🏴❤ totally get why it's such a special place to your son, absolutely magical and we would highly recommend the fortress walk, you could start from the National Trust car park along the road opposite the mine too, that would cut out a mile or two 😀 have a great week and diolch yn fawr for your support and feedback, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🗺 🏴
@@TeaInValhalla Yes we will definitely do that recommended fortress walk at some point. Loved this one both 👍
@@FXWalesAnnaAlf you won't go wrong, maybe pack your swimming cozzys to for a dip in the pool! 🥶
@@TeaInValhalla Sounds great 👍 😃💕
So much to see, I love the rock shelters and that moss on the tree behind you in the one shot is so pretty. Everything is such a deep color green. :)
