Beautiful Aber glaslyn with great views of the river from pont glaslyn. Now you've to walk the side the river..and not through the long tunnel which is now part of the west highland railway . For years a dream..that's come true but walkers have a rough path to walk along. But worth it to see the locomotives working through this pass

Visited Beddgelert village on the first day of September 2019. The pass is already visible from A498 if we get to the village in this road. But also, it has 2 ends, 1 is in the village, the other is on A4085, the National Trust site. I started in Beddgelert. I parked in the village, and I did not know about the pass, only about the grave, so I just walked through the village then through the bridge on the River Glaslyn and started my walk there. When I recognised that it is the Aberglaslyn Pass, I already walked a lot. The whole pass is going next to the river in scenic mountain views, and it is fabulous. After a while the pass became narrower and uneven with rocks to step on. So it is not for baby buggies or wheelchair users. I followed the path while I felt comfortable, which was about 3/4 part to the National Trust site. But there it became very challenging for me in simple running shoes, and I felt unsafe to go ahead. By the way I took a picture at that point and uploaded here, so anyone can see the challenges. If I knew that before or if I planned it, I could change to my hiking boots at the car and have my trekking pole with me. But I planned only to see the grave, so I had to return at that point. It is regrettable, because I am pretty sure it worth to walk to the NT point and get back. But even that walk was very scenery and I am happy that I tried my best. Whoever plans to walk by the river on the pass, I really advise to be in proper hiking boots and have the poles, too if needed, as well as pack some fruits/snacks and a lot of water.
