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.

Hiking

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.
