Location: Beddgelert
Set in the heart of Snowdonia, the picturesque village of Beddgelert is where Midsomer Ramblers set out to walk up Mount Snowdon via the Miner's Track route - one of five different routes giving access to the top of Snowdon.
Beddgelert (which translates as Gelert's Grave in Welsh) is also famous for the legend of the faithful hound who gave the village its name. According to legend Gelert was the faithful hound of Prince Llywelyn who was a 13th Century prince of North Wales.
One day Llywelyn went out hunting leaving Gelert to guard his infant son's cradle. On his return The Prince was horrified to discover the cradle empty and Gelert rushing to greet him with blood dripping from his jaws. Fearing the worst Llywelyn plunged his sword into the dog whose dying whimpers were answered by the cries of an infant. Llywelyn looked behind the crib to find his son unharmed and the body of a great wolf Gelert had slain. Legend says that the Prince was so horror struck, he never smiled again. You will find a monument to this tale about 500 metres along the riverside in the village - just follow the signposts.
But today this macabre tale of dog murder is not the only thing one of North Wales' most picturesque villages has going for it. The abundance of brightly coloured window boxes on display has won Beddgelert a series of national awards for the general loveliness of the place. And visitors with a sweet tooth can indulge at the famous Glaslyn Ice Cream shop.
Location: Llanberis
Check out the Royal Victoria Hotel where the cast and crew stayed during the filming of this episode of Midsomer Murders and if location is everything then Llanberis has it all.
Nestling at the foot of Snowdon visitors can take in the picturesque ruins of Dolbadarn castle or row across Padarn Lake. And even when the weather is not at its kindest a visit to the Electric Mountain power station concealed deep underground will be enough to keep the most adventurous enthralled. And there is no better way of reliving the thrills of a day on the mountains than a few beers at The Heights Hotel on Llanberis High Street even has its own indoor climbing wall!
The Heights is just one of many climber friendly pubs dotted along the High Street others include Pete's Eats which offers walkers their famous steaming mugs of tea and hot snacks after tackling Snowdon!
Location: Nant Peris
This small village is just outside Llanberis on the A4086. Just up on the hillside is the small white cottage (see photo above), which became the location for the outside shots of the home of character David Mostyn in the episode. It's now privately owned by a Liverpool walking company.
