    You’ll find this waterfall just below Pont Gwyn-fynydd and National Cycle Route 82 in Coed-y-Brenin forest. It’s worth leaving the trail to see these falls as they crash 65 feet (20 m) down to a huge splash pool below.

    Below the falls is the confluence of Rivers Gain and Mawddach and another falls, Rhaeadr Mawddach is just up the latter river.

      Good spot to take a break. Possible to swim in the river here, beneath the waterfall.
