Is Rhiwargor Waterfall the best waterfall to visit in North Wales with kids? I mean, a huge waterfall, rivers to play in, rocks to jump on, fantastically maintained paths with great signage all along the route, a scramble up the side of the falls - what's not love?

And if that's not enough to convince you to give this walk a go, then how about the fact that its only a 5 minute drive to the Lake Vyrnwy car park which has a fantastic play area, huge dam you can walk or drive across, boat house you can hire or launch sups and kayaks from, a visitor centre and cafe where you can hire bikes from and the delicious @the.chocolatecabin for coffee and cake!

It’s one of my go-to walks now as I know there's so much to do here it's so easy to spend the whole day. If you fancy it too, here's the deets...
