Dyserth Waterfall

Dyserth Waterfall is created by the River Ffyddion as it drops vertically over limestone rock faces in the Welsh landscape. The cascade forms a natural curtain of water visible from multiple viewing areas along the walking paths.

Mining activity in the area during the late 1800s caused temporary disruption to the water flow. The site has since returned to its natural state after these operations ceased.

The falls sit within a protected natural area that has long held meaning for the local community as a gathering place. People in the region continue to visit during spring when wildflowers bloom across the surrounding meadows.

The site is accessible via marked trails starting from the car park in Dyserth village with several viewpoints along the path. The ground can be slippery, especially after rain, so sturdy footwear is important for a safe walk.

The meadow surrounding the falls hosts more than 100 plant species that bloom in spring, making it a botanical hotspot beyond the main attraction. Orchids and wildflowers create unexpected color across the grassland in warmer months.
