Visiting Aber Falls Wales should 100% be on your list of things to do when in North Wales. I could not believe how beautiful this location was. The waterfall greatly resembles those you find throughout the majestical island of Bali. The lush greens, the powerful spray, the plunge pool at the base of the fall. It’s stunning.
Getting to Aber falls, Wales
Type in Aber falls into Google Maps and follow the route there. The last few minutes of road leading up to the car park is only wide enough for 1-1.5 cars so be careful and drive slowly. The car park is relatively small, and fits about 10 cars.
The car park costs £5 for the day. Make sure you buy a ticket and place it on the dashboard of your car to avoid fines. We were lucky this day as a lady who was just about to leave handed us her parking ticket. If you run into someone on your way out, you should do the same and make their day 🙂
Visiting Aber Falls Wales
Once you have parked your car, make your way to the starting point. You will see a map, I recommend taking a photo of it. Follow the path through the trees, and over the bridge.
The landscapes here are beautiful so look around you and enjoy your walk to the waterfall.
It takes roughly 30 minutes from the car park to the base of the fall. There is a slight incline the entire way making it harder than a typical walk, but it’s not steep enough for me to call it a hike.
Once you arrive to the fall, you can go for a dip if you’re daring. At the base of the waterfall you will see a small plunge pool that you can enjoy! In the summer, there were people braving the water, but it was way too cold for me, even then!
