The Legend of Beddgelert (Welsh Wolfhound)
from The Catholic Men's Podcast · host Matthew Miller
Ever since my friend, Mr. Evan Olwell sent me this story, I haven't been able to get it out of my head. It's haunting really. He sent me a video from the criminally underrated YouTube Channel: Jake Evans Storyteller. Here is the video so you can show him some support. A short walk south of the village, following the footpath along the banks of the Glaslyn leads to Beddgelert's most famous historical feature; 'Gelert's Grave'. According to legend, the stone monument in the field marks the resting place of 'Gelert', the faithful hound of the medieval Welsh Prince Llewelyn the Great. I also tell the story of Greyfriars Bobby as an afterthought. I've been meaning to tell that legend for a long time.My website: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-catholic-men-s-podcast--6075123Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090924548838Picture for thumbnail: "Gelert" by Leo Reynolds https://www.flickr.com/photos/lwr/38639820906 (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/Check out the YouTube channel, if you want: https://www.youtube.com/@catholicmenspodcast
