Description
Aber Falls is located in one of the northernmost of Wales' classic hill valley woodlands. Easily accessible from the university city of Bangor and the North Wales coastal road. The semi-natural to natural woods of Oak, Ash, Alder, and Hawthorn are excellent breeding habitat for the four classical upland broadleaf woodland birds, Gobemouche noir, Rougequeue à front blanc, Pipit des arbres and Pouillot siffleur, as well as resident species like Pic vert and Grive draine. The river below the Falls, the Afon Goch, has Cincle plongeur, Bergeronnette des ruisseaux and Chevalier guignette. Around the cliffs beside the Falls, scan for Merle à plastron in spring and summer, and on the screes, Tarier des prés, Tarier pâtre and Traquet motteux. The area is bleak in winter, but flocks of Grive mauvis and Grive litorne can be seen in the open ground, and Tarin des aulnes and Sizerin cabaret feeding on seeds in the Alders and Birches.
A longer, strenuous option is to continue to the southeast of the falls; climb up the side of the former plantation to the northeast of the Falls, then cut straight up the open moor to Llwytmor (849 m) and on to Foel-fras (944 m) and Foel Grach (974 m), or even to Carnedd Llewelyn (1,064 m). Birds up here are few, but Grand Corbeau is reliable, Faucon pèlerin regular, Crave à bec rouge occasional, and in mid to late May, spring passage Pluvier guignard are frequently seen on the barren high tops. Be careful when descending to follow a safe path, don't try climbing down the cliffs beside Aber Falls!

NonInformations supplémentaires
Note that the mountain option should only be attempted during good weather (dry, with cloud base reliably above 1,500 m). With low cloud and rain - frequent at any time of the year - the moors become very dangerous, as it is easy to get lost and fall down any of the many crags. Make sure you are equipped for heavy rain at any time - this is a temperate rainforest area! In winter, deep snow can be expected above 300-400 m; do not attempt the mountains in this without good mountaineering experience!
