Short but beautiful and well worth visiting. Amazing that this fall use to power the once working mills above. A lovely peaceful and beautiful stroll was had here. The upper bridge looking down to the falls offer picturesque views whilst the old mill building were cool to observe but sad to see rotting away in a beautiful valley

Gwydir Castle is a magnificent and atmospheric historical gem located in the Conwy Valley, North Wales, nestled in the foothills of Snowdonia, near the town of Llanrwst. It is perhaps best described as a fortified manor house or Tudor courtyard house, rather than a traditional Norman-style fortress. The Wynn Family: Gwydir was the ancestral home of the Wynn family, one of the most powerful and influential families in North Wales during the Tudor and Stuart periods. They were descended from the ancient Princes of Gwynedd. Salvaged Materials: The castle incorporates re-used medieval materials, including a spiral staircase, taken from the dissolved Maenan Abbey in the 16th century. Royal Connections: King Charles I stayed at the castle in 1645. The future King George V and Queen Mary stayed here in 1899.

Over the bridge from the town and to the left, or park at the Library and walk along the river to the bridge. Take care The circle was erected at Llanrwst in 1950 for the 1951 National Eisteddfod. It consists of a circle of 12 stones with 2 outliers, using unhewn natural stones from near Llyn Ogwyn. Thought to have been reused for the 1989 National Eisteddfod.

Such a beautiful and famous tea house. I'm so glad i got to see it before all the plantation had been removed. Saw in a news feed this week, it lost so much of its character

Top gate leads down to the two waterfalls, unfortunately there has been extensive damage to the path by falling trees after recent storms. The gate is closed and signs in place..... No idea how I managed to get the shots of the waterfalls. it's at your own risk.

There was a sign saying do not enter, and locked gates. This is due to the recent storm there. Lots of trees are down and the pathways leading down have been damaged. I risked it as I've wanted to visit here. There was nobody around, and had to tread carefully and take my time.
