Llanberis and the Ceunant Mawr Waterfall





You can't miss the quarry as you come into Llanberis. It looks like a big chunk has been bitten out of the mountainside. The terraces across the quarry are clearly visible. Our reason for coming to Llanberis was to see the Ceunant Mawr waterfall, a 15 minute walk at most, though uphill for most of the way.



The walk took us under the Snowdonia Railway viaduct and then later we had to cross the track.



That brought us to the top of the waterfall. The water drops about 30 - 40 metres so this is no tiddler!











And the inevitable selfie:



And finally, back down in Llanberis after the walk to the waterfall, we called into the cafe next to the station for tea. As you would expect, lots of tourists around and so the queue for a cuppa was not short.
