The path to the falls is accessed via a turnstile at a charge of £1. While the falls are indeed beautiful there are similar rapids closer to town and free of charge: for instance at the Miners Bridge (1 mile west) and at the Pont-y-pair bridge (in town), both free of charge. The falls can also be viewed free of charge from the opposite bank by following the riverside public footpath downstream for 1 mile from Ty Hyll (below).
Swallow Falls is a multiple waterfall system in Wales, on the River Llugwy near Betws-y-Coed in Conwy County Borough.

Small exhibition.
A very small railway museum, but it has a small rideable model steam train for kids and an electric tram.
One of three Zip World attractions in the area (the others are in Bethesda and Blaenau Ffestiniog), it is in the forest. The 'Zip Safari' is a treetop journey along 23 zip lines and other rope courses, and the Junior Tree Trail is its kid-friendly cousin. 'Plummet Tower' is a 31-m climbing pole and parachute simulator (basically you climb to the top then jump off — great fun!). Other attractions include a giant swing and the 1-km Fforest Coaster.
