Magic at Fairy Glen. This is a truly wonderful site situated at the bottom of a gorge and has long been know as a tourist spot, dating back to the Victorians. bq. Fairy Glen, known as Ffos Noddyn in Welsh, is a famous 'beauty spot' best seen when shafts of sunlight beam into the deep ravine. The welsh name Ffos (a ditch) and Noddyn (anoddyn - a chasm) gives a more dramatic impression than the sentimental Victorian name. When in flood the river bevels as it sweeps around the bends. A bridge across the ravine was swept away by floods. bq. _extract from Walks Around Betws-y-Coed_

Machno Falls, a very well hidden (and un-advertised) fall but well worth a look. bq. An old guide book describes the falls as follows: 'Nature has double been assisted by art for the old mill wheel plays a most effective part in the view.' Sadly the wheel has gone but the shell of the old corn mill is still standing. The clear water of the Afon Machno is turquoise as it falls into the chasm and surges into the cleft below. _Quoted from Walks Around Betwes-y-Coed by Hilarry Kendel and Hilary Bradnam_

Conway Falls Close-up. bq. Here the Conway rushes into an amphitheatre-lie hollow of strongly jointed Ordovician rock. The stream, stained brown by its journey through peat, is divided by a buttress of rock on which you can see the remains of an old salmon ladded which never worked. The new salmon ladder was completed in 1993. _Quoted from Walks Around Betws-s-Coed by Hilary Kendell and Hillary Bradnam_
