ABER FALLS
An accessible path to the foot of one of Eryri’s most impressive waterfalls.
Aber Falls is one of Eryri’s most dramatic waterfalls. Situated at the northern foothills of the Carneddau, the waterfall is part of Afon Goch’s (Red River) final descent to the Menai Straits.
The river plummets dramatically from a height of 120 feet, crashing into a shallow rocky pool before continuing towards the village of Abergwyngregyn.
Why this path?
The wonder of Aber Falls is the fact that one of the National Park’s most impressive features can be so accessible to many. As one of the shortest walks on offer in Eryri, Aber Falls is an excellent option for those at the beginning of their journey to discover what makes Eryri so unique.
A stone’s throw away from the A55, Aber Falls is a fantastic option for those just arriving at the National Park.
The route offers many picnic areas with wide, open spaces perfect for families with young children. Car Park is £5 for the day,
Length: 4.5km
Duration: 1.5 Hrs
How busy is this path: popular
Aber Falls (Welsh: Rhaeadr Fawr) is a waterfall located about two miles (3 km) south of the village of Abergwyngregyn, Gwynedd, Wales.
The waterfall is formed as the Afon Goch plunges about 120 feet (37 m) over a sill of igneous rock in the foothills of the Carneddau range. Two tributaries merge; the enlarged stream is known as Afon Rhaeadr Fawr; from the road bridge, Bont Newydd ("New Bridge"), the name becomes Afon Aber.
History
Visitors walking along the main footpath towards the falls may spot several small Bronze Age settlements including an excavated roundhouse and smithy fenced off with an information plaque adorning it, several standing stones and cairns are also present, most of these sites can be found on the right side of the pathway. There is also a piece of recording equipment that is recording the weather. It is located to the north west of Snowdonia National Park in Wales.
Visitor facilities
Visitors can park at Bont Newydd, from which the Falls are accessible on foot on a clearly marked trackway. There is a £5 charge for parking payable by cash or card but there are toilets and picnic benches available. The nearest place where food can be purchased is the cafe in the tourist information centre at Abergwyngregyn village.
It is possible to bathe in the plunge pool of the falls, although the water is cold even at the height of summer and care must be taken on the often slippery rocks.
North Wales Path
The North Wales Path, a long-distance coastal path between Prestatyn and Bangor, crosses the bridge at the foot of the falls. This bridge, together with the smaller one at the foot of the smaller falls to the west

    Late summer holidays at Porthcawl, whose only clouds were sweet-pink-sticky candyfloss. September’s sea-salt-gull-cry-breeze. The sharp-metallic tang of rushing rollercoaster wheels up on the Figure Eight. Shivers on the Ghost Train. Arcade passion, playing penny slots. Bilious on the Waltzer. Soaking on the Water Chute. Autumn’s benediction next - fireworks at the Coney Beach arena. And all are gone - and, just like our nations once proud culture, lost forever.

    900 new homes will add to the community, this "carpark" was covered in mud from dredging for years. This seems like NIMBYism to the extreme. John Street has had business closing down for a long time now and bringing fresh blood into the community will just strengthen the town rather than being an offshoot of Treco bay which is what has turned into over the past 10 years.

    Great footage. The mouth of the river was originally a much wider delta and there was a large bay at Baglan which was infilled as land reclamation. The straight channel you see now was dredged out for shipping when the area became industrialised back in the day.

    Sadly a secret had to be kept to reach this point in Porthcawl’s destruction, that secret now uncovered, too complex for here, I can only refer you to my findings also shared on TH-cam under George Strong AKA Barry. No real damage has been done yet 🙏🏻 but investigation has uncovered a scheme a plot whatever you want to call it, to cover all 256 acres , land supposed to have been conveyed by King George V to PUDC in 1930 in trust, but they were never told about it, BCBC have effectively inherited that responsibility of trust without even realising it.

      Check out if the council planning is legal. Most planning determinations (i.e decisions) are illegal because a planning committee is prohibited by statute from making determinations. They can research and recommend but the full council MUST decide. Where I live in the Dean, I refuse to pay my council tax because I will not contribute to an organisation that commits crime.

    Dear Dave My name is Tim Barrett and I work for PAVS in Haverfordwest. I've seen your superb drone footage of Newport, Pembrokeshire on TH-cam and I was wondering if you would be able to grant us permission to use a few seconds of it in a project in which PAVS has become involved. We're currently producing a video to help support a girl called Freya Terry from Newport in Pembrokeshire who's about to embark on a solo circumnavigation of the UK and Ireland as part of a mental health awareness campaign (she will be meeting community groups wherever she docks en route). Freya's journey in a sailing boat called Pink Lady is also designed to raise money for various mental health charities. In addition, we will be running a social media campaign for the entire 5 months of the voyage to help create interest and raise money for those charities. The main video is an in depth interview of Freya talking about her serious mental health problems growing up and how finding her love of sailing helped save her life. A few seconds of your Newport drone footage in this film would be fantastic and really lift the whole thing. We're aiming to get the video finished by Monday 28th April or the following Monday, the 5th May. Should it be easier for you to speak to me rather than email, my work number is 01437 723660 and my mobile is 0780 669 6064. I look forward to hearing from you. Many thanks. Kind regards Tim
