Nantmor is set in the heart of Snowdonia, near Beddgelert and Porthmadog. Beddgelert is a small, beautiful conservation village nestled below mountains at the confluence of the Glaslyn and Colwyn rivers. The village is bedecked with flowers, it is the winner of several Village in Bloom contests. It’s a great place for families to visit, with tea gardens, picnic spots and a wide range of walks, including wheelchair- and pushchair-friendly paths. It is also one of most noted historic places in all of North Wales, steeped in history and mythology. The easiest family-friendly walk is to Gelert’s Grave – the literal translation of the name ‘Beddgelert’ in English. During medieval times, Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, a Welsh prince, had a hunting lodge here. According to legend, he killed his faithful hound, Gelert, mistakenly thinking it had slaughtered his infant son – only to discover that the dog had in fact saved the child from a savage wolf. The Welsh Highland Steam Railway has a halt in the village where you can board the train for a trip to Porthmadog on the west coast or to the town of Caernarfon with its spectacular castle to the north. There are lovely walks available from the door out into the beautiful surrounding countryside or along the river to Beddgelert. In summer the near-by Osprey project is well-worth the visit. Beddgelert is within easy driving range to the mountains and the coast, especially Black Rock Sands, Portmeirion, and the Llŷn Peninsula.
