Wolf's Leap, River Irfon

Accessible by a small path cut into the rock, Wolf's Leap is a deep pool along the River Irfon.

Running through the Abergwesyn Valley, typically more broad and shallow, at this point the river cuts through a narrow gorge in the rock to make a perfect place for a refreshing wild swim.

Don't forget the picnic too, as the banks in this spectacular valley are just serene.

As teenagers growing up in the area this was the swimming spot we upgraded to once we could venture further afield. There are some submerged rocks so just check your landing before going for the big jumps!

The Abergwesyn valley is truly stunning in the summer. I t can be equally stunning in the winter but it is remote & the weather can change rapidly - be aware.
