A gorgeous hidden gem located in Llanrwst.
Rhaeadr y Parc Mawr is located in a beautiful setting in a nice secluded spot which not many people know about. Access to this hidden gem of a waterfall is via a gate then follow some steep steps to get to the base of the waterfall.
The stones can be slippery and the walk down is fairly steep so please do take caution and wear appropriate footwear when visiting Rhaeadr y Parc Mawr.

There was a sign saying do not enter, and locked gates. This is due to the recent storm there. Lots of trees are down and the pathways leading down have been damaged. I risked it as I've wanted to visit here. There was nobody around, and had to tread carefully and take my time.
