Aber Falls via The North Wales Pilgrim's Way

Join OutdoorLads for a Sunday walk in the north of Eryri, taking in mountain views, beautiful coasts and epic waterfalls. 

Points of interest on the route:

Morfa Aber Nature Reserve : We'll start our walk in the reserve, which is an important site for many wading birds such as curlews and sand pipers, as well as kingfishers and otters.

The Wales Coast Path: A route navigating the entire Welsh coast; we'll walk along a short section right by the sea before turning inland, with great views over Lavan Sands to Beaumaris in Anglesey.

The North Wales Pilgrim's Way: As we make our way to the falls, we'll walk along this long distance path, our section will give great views over the Irish Sea to the North, including Puffin Island and even the Isle of Man should the visibility be good. To the South, we'll have views into Eryri and the Carneddau mountains. 

Aber Falls: The highlight of the walk is this magnificent waterfall that crashes down from the Carneddau mountains. We can get close enough to get right by the falls, so make sure to bring some waterproofs.

The Carneddau Ponies: During the walk, we may come across the wild ponies that inhabit the mountains. The ponies have lived here for hundreds of years, surviving by feeding on the native upland plants. If we do see them, make sure not to approach too closely, as they are wild and shouldn't be frightened.

Aber Falls Distillery: At the end of the walk, we can visit the local distillery, which has an excellent collection of whiskies and gins, as well as a very nice café.

Other Information:

Dog Suitability:

Dogs are always welcome on my walks, though their behaviour and safety is their owner's responsibility. This includes cleaning up after them, controlling their behaviour around other animals or people, and assisting them over any stiles or streams we may cross.
