Aber Falls
Rhaeadr Fawr
A waterfall about 37 metres high that drops straight down a rock face. It can be reached from the village of Abergwyngregyn in about 40 minutes along a wooded valley trail.
Rhaeadr Fawr lies on the northern edge of the Carneddau mountains, where the Afon Goch plunges about 37 metres down a rock face, one of the most spectacular waterfalls in North Wales. The trail starts from the paid car park in the village of Abergwyngregyn and follows a broad wooded valley on a gentle slope for about 2.5 km. It is suitable for families, and the round trip takes about 1.5 hours. Along the way are the remains of a Celtic roundhouse and information boards. It is a national nature reserve and free to visit. It sits beside the A55 and is about a 20-minute drive from both Bangor and Conwy.
