Pistyll Rhaeadr Waterfall
Pistyll Rhaeadr is not only the highest waterfall in the UK, but also significantly higher than the famous Niagara Falls on the US-Canada border. The height of Pistyll Rhaeadr is 240 feet (about 73 meters). This famous waterfall in the Berwyn Mountains is very majestic and flows through green foliage, pouring down carved stone bridges, creating a beautiful natural scene.
To reach Pistyll Rhaeadr, visitors must travel from the village of Llanrhaeadr Mochnant, via the Aptly trail, which is a 4-mile journey. Once at the base of the falls, it takes another 20 minutes to climb to the top of the falls to see the entire Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall from above.

Snowdon Peak
The most famous of the 7 wonders of Wales is undoubtedly Snowdon, the highest peak in Snowdonia National Park and the whole of the UK.

Visitors can ride a horse on the winding road to the top, stopping to rest by the clear lakes halfway up the mountain. Visitors can also take the Watkin or Llanberis shortcut, which is more dangerous, but has much more beautiful scenery. On the journey to the top of Snowdon, visitors will pass through ancient forests, past a majestic waterfall before reaching the top of the mountain.
