    Straight ahead over the bridge is the path to Cwm Idwal, but take time to see the waterfall and rapids on the River Idwal. Very pretty.

      A spectacular waterfall after a rainy few days. It's close to the visitors centre so more accessible than some.

        This was always on my todo list and finally got to do it this year I enjoyed every bit. I ascended the Heather Terrace and looped down over the top to llyn ogwen car park. Great peak to climb
