About

The Dolgoch Falls (also known as the Dol-goch falls, or the Dôl-goch falls (English: 'red meadow falls') are a series of three waterfalls near Tywyn in southern Snowdonia. They're beautifully set in woodland and accessible from a small, paid car park. 

Wellies and boots highly recommended as the track can be quite muddy when close to the falls regardless of the weather - and whilst there are no steps on approach to the falls, there is a viewing area that has steps leading down to it from the main path. 

The falls are part of the stream called Nant Dôl-goch, which flows into the Afon Fathew. A popular walk from the nearby Dolgoch station on the Talyllyn Railway runs besides the falls.

The Dolgoch slate quarry was dug into the west wall of the gorge of the falls.
