Aberglaslyn Pass is a narrow, steep-sided gorge carved by the River Glaslyn, where the water rushes over boulders and through pools. A well-maintained footpath follows the river, offering close-up views of the chasm and the historic stone bridge. The pass is famed for its dramatic scenery, with moss-covered rocks and twisted trees clinging to the cliffs. It's a must-see for walkers and photographers exploring Snowdonia.

Don't miss

  • Walk the riverside path from Beddgelert to the gorge, passing under the iconic stone bridge.
  • Watch the river surge through narrow rock channels, especially after rain.
  • Spot dippers and other wildlife along the wooded banks of the gorge.
