The dramatic Grey Mare's Tail Waterfall, known in Welsh by the seldom used name of Rhaeadr y Parc Mawr, is situated in a beautiful wooded glade at Coed Felin Blwm, the Lead Mill Wood, near to the market town of Llanrwst. The waterfall is situated on the eastern edge of the dense and extensive Gwydir Forest, which covers 7 ha and was established in 1921 by the Forestry Commision. The fall is fed by a wide stream which has its source in the forest and flows on to join the River Conway further down. The waterfall actually consists of two falls, which drop into a plunge pool beneath. Image cannot be loaded
The bridge at Llanrwst

The water is eroding the banks but the bridge is as I always remember it. It can be a traffic bottle neck too as it's one way and there are traffic lights on one side only! Image cannot be loaded
