Descrição
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, Papa-moscas-preto, Rabirruivo-de-testa-branca, Petinha-das-árvores and Felosa-assobiadeira, as well as resident species like Pica-pau-verde and Tordeia. The river below the Falls, the Afon Goch, has Melro-d'água, Alvéola-cinzenta and Maçarico-das-rochas. Around the cliffs beside the Falls, scan for Melro-de-peito-branco in spring and summer, and on the screes, Cartaxo-nortenho, Cartaxo-comum and Chasco-cinzento. The area is bleak in winter, but flocks of Tordo-ruivo-comum and Tordo-zornal can be seen in the open ground, and Lugre and pintarroxo-pequeno 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 Corvo is reliable, falcão-peregrino regular, Gralha-de-bico-vermelho occasional, and in mid to late May, spring passage Borrelho-ruivo 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!

NãoInformação extra
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!
