Running through the deep gorge of the Fairy Glen, Conwy Falls is an incredibly scenic waterfall. It cascades through a number of segmented drops totalling (50 feet) 15 m into a deep pool.

The surrounding woodland is rich in wildlife, including polecats and around 30 bird species. The area is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest.

The falls are host to an excellent cafe. Built in the 1950s, it was designed by Sir William Clough Ellis of Portmeirion fame.

It’s a beautiful spot that can get busy during peak season. Ensure you’re wearing decent shoes as the path down is uneven and, in places, loose.
