Aber Falls Lollipop Walk

This Aber Falls route is a variation on the circular walk, listed on our website in more detail. From the first car park, set off on a path directly south, turning left and crossing a footbridge before passing through a gate onto a wider path. If starting from the second car park, start by going back the way you came, turn left and cross a footbridge, then stay right to link up with the wider path. Follow this path south, going right at the fork and passing by a visitor centre. As you near the falls, you’ll come across some unearthed Bronze Age huts—an interesting historical touch to the walk.

Soon after that is the Aber Falls themselves. They’re most impressive after a period of rain, when the tumbling river blasts out a spray that travels quite a distance! Take care on the surrounding rocks, which can be quite slippery. When you’re ready to return, take a path that branches off on your right, ascending to provide a view of the valley floor. Follow this path back north, as it eventually bends to the left and joins the main path that you came in on. Stroll along this back to your car park to complete the walk.
