At 120 feet (37 metres) high, Aber Falls is a spectacular sight indeed. Best seen on a rainy day, the water thunders over the cliff like a curtain of water; crashing to earth with an almighty spray. A great attraction for all ages and abilities. The rocks below can get a little slippery, though, so take care.

Stunning waterfall and a lovely walk to it on well maintained trails. Free parking just below the stone bridge but payment required in the upper one. Toilets are available in the latter.

Hiking

Beautiful waterfall on easy way to reach. Returning from there via the North Wales Coast Path more challenging and very promising: Bangor, Menai-Strait, Angelesey with Beaumaris and Puffin Island
