Aber Falls, Waterfall in Snowdonia National Park, Wales.
The Afon Goch river drops 120 feet over an igneous rock formation, creating a wide cascade that flows into the Afon Rhaeadr Fawr river.
Multiple Bronze Age settlements, including an excavated roundhouse and smithy, remain visible along the pathway leading to the waterfall.
The Welsh name Rhaeadr Fawr translates to 'big waterfall' while the nearby smaller cascade Rhaeadr Fach means 'small waterfall' in the local language.
The marked trail from Bont Newydd car park to the waterfall extends 3.5 miles round trip, with clear signage and maintained paths throughout the journey.
A weather recording station positioned near the falls provides continuous updates about conditions in this northwestern section of Snowdonia National Park.
