Bryn Gwynant Youth Hostel

YHA Bryn Gwynant is a Victorian mansion set in extensive grounds overlooking Llyn Gwynant, four miles from the village of Beddgelert. Nearby is the start of the Watkin path to the summit of Snowdon, a route involving over 1000m of ascent. It is naturally very popular with serious mountain walkers but there are many less strenuous walks in the area and the views from the hostel itself are sufficient reason to pay it a visit. more

The hostel is open daily until 22 December 2008.
