March 30, 2024,Fairy Glen Gorge – Conwy Falls loop from Capel Garmon

Park at the waterloo carpark which is just up the road from the start of the walk. Pay-by-phone 805962. The walk it self feels like its continually uphill!, until the last quarter. The falls are great to visit and its a midway cafe stop aswell.

Enjoy!
