Afon Einion Falls — The One You Have to Earn

Now this one’s a proper hidden gem. North of Aberystwyth, past the sleepy lanes of Llwyngwril, Afon Einion quietly tumbles through woodland like it’s got a secret to keep. The trail is wild and a bit overgrown — just enough to feel like a tiny quest.

Legend has it a hermit used to live near here, communing with otters and whispering wisdom to the stream. Not verified, obviously. But you get the vibe.

Top Tip: Take good shoes and a friend who likes a detour. It’s not on a signpost — that’s part of the charm.
