A hidden waterfall in Wales has been hailed as an underrated gem. Found in Llanberis, this peaceful spot is loved for its calming atmosphere and is often described as the "perfect place to relax."
Set within Snowdonia National Park, the falls have been praised for their beautiful views and easy walking route.
While many locals already know about this hidden gem, visitors from further away are often surprised to find such a quiet escape tucked just minutes from the village.
One person wrote: "It's beautiful... I'm dying to swim in it!!! We went in the winter... amazing." Another simply said: "Stunning," while a third added: "Ooh definitely need to explore here."
Others also shared their thoughts, with one person commenting: "Absolutely beautiful." Another joked: "How did you find it if it was hidden? I'm teasing, it is brilliant, especially after heavy rain."
A different visitor noted: "People miss it which is weird when it's actually signposted from the Llanberis pass."
Reviews on TripAdvisor tell a similar story, where Ceunant Mawr Falls holds an impressive 4.5-star rating.
One local admitted: "Lovely little hidden gem in Llanberis, having lived here all my life I hadn’t actually visited before. The train goes overhead as you walk along. It's a nice steady short walk, even my 2 and 4-year-old managed it. Beautiful views."
Another visitor shared: "We were lucky to visit Ceunant Mawr when it was quiet — the peaceful atmosphere made it even more special.
This lovely waterfall is just a short walk from Llanberis. A perfect spot to relax, enjoy nature, and take amazing photos. Highly recommended if you’re exploring Snowdonia!"
A third said: "Surprisingly beautiful. The waterfall is a short, easy walk from the centre of Llanberis village. Within minutes you’re in a stunning gorge. The waterfall itself is breathtaking and such a nice surprise."
For anyone planning a trip, the postcode for Ceunant Mawr Falls is LL55 4TR. Visitors are advised to park nearby and follow the walking signs. There is no parking at the falls themselves or along the road leading to them.
Remember - LeaveNoTrace!
As with anywhere outdoors, kindly keep these areas pristine and wild by taking all trash with you. The amount of complaints we have seen since the pandemic is crazy. It's really not that hard to take your rubbish with you!
Litter tends to spread, so if you see any and are able to pick it up and dispose of it outside the hidden gem, it will help keep the area tidy.
