Wales Waterfalls around Bets-y-Coed

[Jelster]

We're off to Bets-y-Coed for a week on Friday, and our holiday partners (BiL & SiL) would like to visit some falls. I'm not that mobile currently, I slipped and hurt my left hip a couple of days ago and the pain feels like it's going to be hanging around for the trip. Is there anything not too demanding that we can get to that's within a 30 minute drive and 15-20 minute walk from the car?

Aber Falls is a 50 minute drive and you have the Swallow Falls in Betws. Unsure of the ground underfoot though Steve.

Some nice falls in the Ogwen Valley, just past the visitor centre.

It all depends where you are coming from as probably one of the easiest to get to regards walking is at Dyserth near Rhyl which is North Wales ideal to call and make a stop on the way to Betws-y-Coed, if you are going that way.

Tricky walk down to the viewpoint this time of the year unless you take the long way round... if Steve does go take a few pound coins as there is an honesty box at the car park (which is watched).

Think he may have already been, this was nearly a year & a half ago.
