The River Glaslyn

A capture from our trip to Wales in 2016 brings us to the Glaslyn Gorge just below the beautiful village of Beddgelert. To be honest the British Isles has many rivers that look like this but our memories of walking for miles along the rocky river bank here makes it one of our all-time favourite rivers. At this point, a few miles below the village the river is technically the River Colwyn that joined the Glaslyn just before it entered the village. From here it runs down to the sea at Porthmadog via the Aberglaslyn Pass. It is 16 miles (26 km) long in total.

A rugged and wild looking stretch of river Herb........with some beautiful trees on the riverbanks. You've captured the movement and power of the water very well. A splendid shot sir!
