Dolgoch Falls

The Dolgoch falls are about 4 miles from Tywyn on the A493 road, in the Snowdonian National park.

There is a car park with a pay and display at the front of the Dolgoch Falls hotel and a tearoom for refreshments.

There is a pathway through the woods to the lower falls. Halfway along there is a bridge crossing the river.

If you take the left hand path up the steps it will lead you to the middle and upper falls.

To the left of the lower fall there is an old miner’s cave that goes into the rock face.

The Talyllyn Railway steam trains pass over the viaduct and you can hear the engine whistle as the trains go up from Tywyn to Abergynolwyn.

At the top of the falls there is a picnic site and pools that you can paddle in.

There’s lots of wild life in the woods such as squirrels and mosses, ferns and all sorts of wild birds singing from the trees.

There is no charge to enter the falls but there is a donation box which helps towards the maintenance of the paths etc
