Fairy Glen is a hidden gorge a 50-minute walk from the town Betws-y-Coed, Conwy, where visitors follow a circular shaped route that will lead to a stunning hidden location. The aptly named gorge is believed by some to be home to mythical sprits, inspired from alleged sightings, fairy rings and storybook Fly Agaric mushrooms.

If you feel like adding a bit of adventure to this fantasy nook, you can take the slippery and uneven rocky formation – make sure to mind where you step for your journey to not turn into a tragedy.

Here the River Conwy flows downstream in a tumble of waterfalls to create an eerie but magical spot.

Bring along your swimwear and something to eat where you can enjoy the rock pools to cool off and a bench to have a picnic in this North Wales hidden gem.

Dog owners are welcome but must keep their pets on their lead due to the rapids.

According to folklore, fairies are believed to have marked their location by dark rings in the grass, sheltered wood or forested areas to mark their underground kingdoms.

The Welsh word for fairies is Tylwyth Teg which translates in English to “fair folk”, because in folklore they were said to give gifts to humans who showed them kindness, but tricked any who angered them.

Entry to Fairy Glen costs £1 per person with parking also costing the same, which goes towards the upkeep of the privately owned land.
