'UK's best hidden falls walk' now out of bounds

NATIONAL PARK CLOSES ROUTE TO PUBLIC TO DEAL WITH 'UNSAFE TREES'

- By OWEN HUGHES

A natural wonder in the Eryri National Park has been closed off to the public.

Grey Mare's Tail Waterfall, or Rhaeadr y Parc Mawr in Welsh, is situated in Gwydir Forest near Llanrwst and Trefriw.

It is a horsetail waterfall, one of the finest examples in the UK.

Horsetail falls widen out as they fall down a slope while still maintaining contact with the underlying cliff wall.

What makes the Grey Mare even more serene and unique is its location, embedded in a forest of lakes and mountains in the heart of Eryri (Snowdonia).

Moreover, it has not one but two cascades, the water being split by a large rock at the top.
