Wales - Beddgelert
At first glance - certainly on a somewhat rainy gray day - the hard gray stone houses of Beddgelert do not look too inviting. But walking around and seeing all the blooming flowers the village became more and more picturesque.
Beddgelert (meaning “the grave of Gelert”) is probably named after an early christian missionary and leader called Celert (or Cilert), who settled here early in the 8th century. The earliest record of Beddgelert appears on a document dated 1258 (the name recorded is "Bekelert"); eleven years later it is recorded as "Bedkelerd".
Beddgelert lies in a valley at the confluence of the River Glaslyn and River Colwyn. Just above the confluence of the rivers, in the centre of the village, is the old stone bridge with two arches. It is hard to imagine, but the village once was a busy port, when the river was tidal and ships sailed all the way to the centre of Beddgelert.

Jaap van 't Veen club has replied to Richard NuttallRichard Nuttall has replied to Jaap van 't Veen clubThank you.
I actually really like the main picture. It is very atmospheric.
Have a nice day
L'architecture est très typique faite de pierres récupérées sur les lieux même
mais qui donnent un petit coté froid..
Bonne semaine Jaap
Freundliche Grüße und einen angenehmen Abend

Very beautiful picture, Jaap.
As a child we went there. I was told the story and I was inconsolable ! I cried and cried for the dog !
