Location
It stands at the confluence of the River Glaslyn and River Colwyn. Just below the confluence of the river is the old stone bridge with two arches in the centre of the village. Many of the houses and hotels are built of local dark stone. To the west is Moel Hebog and its neighbours to the north and a series of hills rising to the top of Snowdon. A lane of the A4085 between Caernarfon (13 miles north) and Porthmadog (8 miles south) runs through the village.
The camping store Gelert originated in Beddgelert but later moved its headquarters to nearby Porthmadog, leaving a shop in the village.
