Conwy Falls, Waterfall in Bro Machno, Wales
Conwy Falls drops 50 feet into a deep pool at the last gorge section of the River Conwy, surrounded by 9 acres of woodland.
The original Victorian wooden salmon ladder was constructed in the 19th century but was replaced by a modern system of 30 pools in 1993.
The cafe near the falls displays Georgian architectural elements designed by Clough Williams-Ellis, the architect known for creating Portmeirion village.
Visitors access the falls through natural woodland paths starting from the cafe parking area on Pentrefoelas Road near Betws-y-Coed.
The water gauging station at the falls regulates flow distribution between the fish pass and the main falls to protect gorge flora during low water periods.
