Aber Falls

Aber Falls is situated two miles (three kilometers) south of Abergwyngregyn, a settlement in Gwynedd. In the foothills of the Carneddau mountain, the Afon Goch plunges around 120 feet (37 meters) over an igneous rock sill, creating the waterfall. When two tributaries combine, the stream gains the name Afon Rhaeadr Fawr, which changes to Afon Aber at the road bridge known as Bont Newydd ("New Bridge").

Parking is available at Bont Newydd, and a well-marked trackway leads directly to the Falls. Parking is pay-by-cash, however, there are restrooms and picnic tables provided. The cafe at the visitor center at Abergwyngregyn village is the closest location where meals can be purchased.

Even in the height of summer, the water in the plunge pool of the falls is chilly, and bathing there requires caution due to the frequently slick rocks. The actual Aber Falls originates from the Afon Goch river and drops 37 meters over the rocky foothills of the Carneddau Welsh mountains. The benefit of taking in the stunning mountain views and the unspoiled wooded surroundings is also available to visitors.

Location: About two miles (3 km) south of the village of Abergwyngregyn
