Fairy Falls, Trefriw

The Fairy Falls (Welsh: Rhaeadr y Tylwyth Teg) are a waterfall in the village of Trefriw, north Wales.

[1] Not all of the water from the river Crafnant passes over the falls, as a little upstream some is diverted through a pipeline to provide hydro-electric power for the woollen mill.

Along this lower section of river the water once turned a number of waterwheels which powered various mills.

The Falls are easily accessible on foot from various directions, and are on the route of one of the Trefriw Trails, a series of walks around the village and adjacent areas.

[3] Route 4, starting from the village shops, follows the riverside path through Fairy Glen and past the falls.
