The Nant Gwynant is a mountain pass in Snowdonia, North Wales. The A498 road descends 600 feet in about two miles from the start of the pass at Pen-y-Gwryd, it follows the Nant Cynnyd, the Afon Glaslyn and into Llyn Gwynant, then alonside the Nant Gwynant river to Llyn Dinas and passing below Dinas Emrys to Beddgelert. The road continues through the Aberglaslyn Pass to Porthmadog.
The upper section, from the site of the Roman fort and marching camp situated at the junction with the modern A4086 Caernarfon to Capel Curig road, follows the valley of Nant Cynnyd to a viewpoint (in about a mile) overlooking the Cwm Dyli hydro-electric power station, which was built over 100 years ago by the North Wales Power and Traction Company to supply electricity to the Portmadoc, Beddgelert and South Snowdon Railway that failed before it was completed. The power station however still uses the waters of Llyn Llydaw to generate electricity for the National Grid (UK).
