Beautiful nature reserve that’s hidden away in North Wales. We did a 20 minute walk from the car park along flat ground to the waterfall where there’s steps leading down to the waterfall and river. Managed it with a toddler in the hand and 5 year old walking by herself. Not suitable for pushchairs.

Some good climbs and descents to make it a good workout. Great to see the ecology of a rain forest and well worth stopping so look at the plants that live here. Parking may be an issue at busy times as only a...
