Gerlan

Gerlan lies in Gwynedd's Ogwen Valley, nestled between Snowdonia's peaks and the Menai Strait. Reach it via the A5 from Bangor (8km) or connect from the A55 at Bangor for longer journeys. The village forms part of greater Bethesda, surrounded by the distinctive terraced landscape of old slate quarries, with Penrhyn Quarry's massive stepped terraces dominating the local skyline.
