A very small trek from car park down to the river... No waterfall as such but good experience for non trekking people and good views in the end....
Please wear proper shoes as trek may be small but is very steep and can be slippery if wet...

Lovely wooded walk but not suitable for everyone as the paths are steep and uneven. However, there are handrails all the way around which makes it easier. The falls are often obscured by the trees and seem quite far away. I managed to go down and get some good views, but some people like the disabled and elderly may not. There's plenty of waterfalls you can see for free on the mountainsides, but you may want to pay a small fee and say you've been there and done Conwy Falls.

Car parking available at the cafe. No more honesty box - now it's an electronically controlled swing gate, GBP2 per entry (I guess most people weren't honest!). Takes cashless and cash, but swindled me out of GBP2 cash without entry, so be warned! Steep natural (read: muddy) path that leads steadily downwards - safest with good shoes and reasonably good mobility. The more you descend, the more beautiful the surrounding forest and the louder the rush of water. Here on a rainy autumn day, and the water was in full spate. Circular path leads back up to return to the car park (another steep climb). Lovely viewpoints for townies who don't want long hikes.

Fantastic waterfalls. We parked at the cafe, then walked down (note there is a honesty box to pay so have some cash). The viewpoint is perfect to see both falls, climb down and sit on the rocks to take it in. If you are lucky you may see salmon (at least I think it was, see the pics). Then follow the path along & back up.

This is not a public walk to a waterfall! I ended up walking clinging onto my small children on a national speed limit road with no sidewalk watching people drag canoes down the bank to the water's edge. I went down the bank and took a picture and then drove to the village of Betws-y-Coed for a real river walk.

Beautiful water falls, a short walk from the cafe / car park. Decent walking shoes required and treacherous if wet. If you want to get the best views of the falls themselves, you have to scramble / climb down to the riverside (which it says it's prohibited). Again, treacherous, even in the dry. Great views though and well worth a visit. Take some change for the honesty box entry fee.

HI. A rushing mountain stream hidden in a beautiful forest. However, the December aura does not reflect all the charm of things.

A lovely place for a nice and short walk.
The carpark is free although tiny and fills up quickly. There is a cafe and toilet facilities right by the carpark. There is a field with benches behind the cafe.
The entry to the path is £1.50 per person, there is a short walk to the waterfall. You can climb down the rocks to see it from a different angle. Be careful, they can be slippery in wet conditions.
The path takes you back to the corner of the picnic field through a forrest.
