    Tips

    Anyone who dares to brave the (very) cold water on a sunny day can have some water fun here. There are many hikers who only use the first part of the Watkin trail to walk to these waterfalls and pools and then return.

      Pleasant place to cool off on a sunny day and an ideal picnic spot.

        Situated in Snowdonia National Park, the waterfall is only accessible on foot via the Watkin Path which snakes its way up Snowdon's mountainside. Also known as the 'Watkins Pool', the trail starts from the A498 road – just south-west of Llyn Gwynant – taking you through a small woodland before arriving at the falls
