Brief description

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aber_Falls

2026: "Aber Falls (Welsh: Rhaeadr Fawr, lit. 'big waterfall'[2]) 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.

There is a second waterfall a short distance west named Rhaeadr-bach or Rhaeadr Fach.

The Falls are accessible by foot on a clearly marked trackway. Car parking, toilets and picnic benches are available. An information centre is at Abergwyngregyn village.[2]

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.

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 Rhaeadr-bach to the west was erected in 1995."
