A series of waterfalls in the Crafnant river, falling around 8-metres at their tallest point.

The falls were formed in the last ice-age, when the area was glaciated 200,000 years ago. The glaciation formed a number of the falls in the area, as well as hanging valleys.

The river eventually flows into the Conwy river, further downstream.
