Capel Curig

Situated at the junction of the mountain roads to Beddgelert, Llyn Ogwen and Betws-y-Coed, Capel Curig has the reputation of being the wettest place in Wales. However, it is popular with climbers as well as hill walkers and anglers, who use the village as a base. A walk south of the village passes by lonely Llyn y Foel and climbs the steep ridge of Daiar Ddu to the top of Mount Siabod. The reward for this expenditure of energy is the most spectacular panoramic view of many of Snowdonia’s great peaks. Plas-y-Brenin, the National Mountain Centre, provides excellent facilities for climbing, canoeing, dry slope skiing and orienteering.

The former Parish Church of St Julitta was founded by St Curig, a 6th-cenury bishop. The smallest church in Snowdonia, it is being gradually restored by the Friends of St Julitta. It was deconsecrated in the 1970s. St Julitta was a wealthy Turkish widow who was the mother of Cyriacus, killed by the Roman governor of Seleucia when he was three years old. Julitta was martyred, and her son was also declared a martyr.
