Aber Falls (Rhaeadr Fawr in Welsh) is a stunning waterfall located in the foothills of the Carneddau mountain range in Snowdonia National Park, North Wales. The waterfall cascades from a height of approximately 37 metres (121 feet) and is fed by the Afon Goch river, which originates from the surrounding mountains. The area is rich in natural beauty, with scenic walking trails, lush greenery, and diverse wildlife.

The walk to Aber Falls is relatively easy and well-maintained, making it a popular spot for visitors of all ages. The main trail, starting from the nearby village of Abergwyngregyn, takes around 45 minutes each way and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. In the spring and summer months, the area is alive with wildflowers, while autumn brings golden hues to the trees. Winter can be particularly spectacular, as the waterfall may partially freeze, creating a dramatic icy spectacle.

Aber Falls is steeped in history and folklore, with evidence of prehistoric settlements and ancient burial sites nearby. The area is also home to a local distillery, producing Aber Falls whisky and gin, which adds to the region’s cultural appeal.

Another of Nanaimo's famous waterfront parks. Pipers Lagoon Park features scenic trails with ocean viewpoints making it a perfect place to enjoy sunrises and sunsets. Built on an isthmus that extends out to a rocky headland, this 8 hectare park features twisting trails that lead to a number of seaside lookouts. From the headland you'll have a great view of historic Shack Island and the southern point of Neck Point Park.

Pipers Lagoon is an ideal bird watching retreat. Gulls, sandpipers, horned grebes, loons, kingfishers, oyster catchers and great blue herons a just some of the varieties of bird life.

It's also a great spot for beachcombing year round and in the summer some hardy folks even swim here. On windy days bring your kite and watch it dance.
