Beddgelert ('grave of Gelert'), a Carnarvonshire village, which is a great tourist centre, near Aberglaslyn Pass, 12 miles SE. of Carnarvon. The grave of the legendary hound of Llewellyn (see GELLERT) is marked by a few stones. The ascent of Snowdon is often made from this 'gem of Welsh villages,' which is the principal scene of Southey's Madoc.
