가장 멋진 폭포 20곳

A set of double falls, upper and lower. Both are quite tricky to photograph, the upper falls being the more precarious as you have to look over an edge to see the full drop. The lower falls are easier as you can get a low Point of View and hence get the flow of the water past you. These falls are only a few hundred yards up a well marked and obvious path, large car park on the main road at the bottom of the roadway.

The Llantysilio Green weir, more commonly known as the Horseshoe Falls, is a 140-meter-long, horseshoe-shaped weir designed by Thomas Telford in 1808 to divert water from the River Dee into the Llangollen Canal. This prominent structure is a significant piece of engineering and a feature of the World Heritage Site, providing water for the canal and attracting tourists with its unique design and surrounding landscape. The Llantysilio Green Car Park is a designated access point for visiting the falls. In the late 19th century a long piece of wood, about 30cm wide, floated on the water here to deflect floating debris away from the canal intake. It was fixed at one end. It’s visible in the photo, taken c.1890. Some trippers couldn’t resist the temptation to walk along it, ignoring a warning sign nearby, if they weren’t spotted by the “waterman” in charge of the sluice. Local residents took a dim view of such “unheeding folly”. 😂😂

The long abandoned Barracks and Mill buildings of Rhosydd Quarry in the Moelwyn mountains of North Wales on a changeable day last September. A break in the heavy cloud allowed a burst of sunlight through that lit up the shiny slate rubble to make it look a bit like water. The dark buildings stood out against the lower slopes of Foel Ddu.

The spartan barracks at Rhosydd, a hard place to live and work, not far from the summit of a mountain.

Nice

Here the water flows calmly, just before it thunders through the rocks! 😊

Up close, very impressive! And only a few people on this side.

Straight ahead over the bridge is the path to Cwm Idwal, but take time to see the waterfall and rapids on the River Idwal. Very pretty.

Swallow Falls is one of the highest continuous waterfalls in Wales. It comprises a series of beautiful cascades on the River Llugwy, approximately one mile east of Betws y Coed, on the way to Capel Curig and just off the A5. The falls are surrounded by lush woodland. Swallow Falls is a breathtaking natural wonder that attracts thousands of visitors each year. Visitors can view the falls from a viewing platform. The viewing platform is open all year round and admission costs £2 (cash or credit card).

Idyllic spot in the middle of Betws y Coed.

Caution is advised when descending to the waterfall. Entrance to the waterfall is through a turnstile, and costs £2. Card payments are accepted. For me, the short hike to this beautiful spot was worth it.

If you will turn right before bridge - you’ll go to the canyon with stunning small pond in the end. If you go straight on the bridge - you’ll follow path to the lake.

A nice little stop with the pooch and I both getting an ice-cream, plenty of seating outside in a big garden right next to the waterfall

Stunning waterfall with the bridge built into the rock formation

I started the opposite way of the route, going to the summit of Y Garn the shortest way. It was better. Starting the long way around is too tidings even going down. Be prepared to get lost without Komoot and the path they show (it’s like a compass) because the paths are hardly visible in places. There is an old gold mine worth passing by. The views from Y Garn are well worth all the sweat.

Slate was mined here above and below ground from about 1830. The remote location proved difficult, and a series of financial troubles hampered the quarry. It shut during WW1 and reopened afterwards until finally closing in 1948. At it's peak, this was the second-largest underground slate mine in North Wales. Today you can explore the spoil and some of the old machinery.

Impressive, the many building ruins and the huge waste heaps
