Our Beddgelert Store

Located in one of the most beautiful villages in Eryri (Snowdonia), our Beddgelert store sits at the confluence of the rivers Glaslyn and Colwyn, in the shadow of Moel Hebog, right next to one of the most photographed bridges in Wales. We stock our full range of outdoor clothing, footwear, and equipment — everything chosen by a team who spend their free time in these mountains.

You’ll find trusted brands including Páramo, Columbia, Fjällräven, Salomon, Hoka, and Sprayway, alongside navigation tools, camping essentials, and accessories for every kind of adventure in Eryri.

How to Find Us

We’re in the centre of Beddgelert village, close to the bridge where the A498 and A4085 meet. The store is easy to find on foot from anywhere in the village — look for our green shopfront near the river.

Parking is available at the 7 Cae Morys Parking and the Colwyn Banc Car Park just off the main road through the village. There’s very limited on street parking. Beddgelert is also served by the Eryri (Snowdon) Sherpa bus network, with regular services running through the valley from Caernarfon, Beddgelert, and Pen-y-Pass.

Why Visit Our Beddgelert Store?

Beddgelert is the perfect base for exploring the southern flanks of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) and the quieter valleys of Eryri — and our store is stocked accordingly. Whether you’re picking up last-minute kit before a big route, collecting an online order, or just browsing, our team are always on hand with local knowledge and years of experience.

We stock a wide range of styles, sizes and colours in-store to suit hiking, hill walking, backpacking, trail running and camping. If you’re unsure about a product or want help planning your kit list for a specific route, just ask — we’ve walked the hills around here more times than we can count.
