Scenery and Natural Beauty
Pros:
"Beautiful falls in a tiny, beautiful town! There is a walking path built along the river to enjoy walking beside it."
"Absolutely stunning little slice of the Welsh countryside. Perfect for a Sunday stroll or to entertain the kids."
"A beautiful location of natural beauty."
"One of the most beautiful places I have ever been to...the sound of the water was incredible and the surrounding area was stunning."
"Cenarth Falls is absolutely breathtaking the views are amazing."
"A beautiful area with lots of good walks."
"Such a beautiful place, ancient and charming."
"Incredible site to experience, lovely boardwalk along the river."
Cons:
"Sadly some water pollution is visible and dents the experience somewhat."
"Visited Cenarth Falls today was expecting a bit more to be honest."
"Nice walk around the river and up the hill back to the car park. Was very quiet somebody informed us that the river despite all the rain we seem to have had this year was very low!!"
"Barely any water at the falls this time of the year."
"The water levels where low when I was there which was a shame."
"This is an absolutely stunning area with a beautiful tidal river."
"Whilst this is a lovely bit of nature, the falls and river have become a tourist hotspot."
"Set expectations first, you are not getting Niagara falls."
Accessibility and Walkways
Pros:
"Walk is boarded most of the way so suitable for all."
"The boardwalk allows much better access to most abilities but it is not all level access."
"First half/part of the circular walk is boarded and wheelchair friendly."
"Fabulous place to explore. Disabled / Wheelchair access along river via a boardwalk."
"There is a wooden walkway along the falls, which is mobility scooter friendly, with passing places."
"Had a great time walking along the falls with the family. The walk is lovely here this time of year."
"Lovely walk along a narrow river with some small waterfalls. Wooden pathway, pram friendly along the river."
"A lovely place that has a (normally) fully accessible boarded walk to the end."
Cons:
"There is a small section that allows you to walk on the old path, but that can be tricky after lots of rain."
"Stopped as entered car park and asked for £3 fee. The falls are directly in front of the cars. We then used the board walk down the side which is lovely and easy to walk but do have to step to one side for people to pass."
"The rest of the loop is hilly dirt track and single track road back to the main road the other side of the bridge."
"Easy walk along the boardwalk, but a steep climb if you want to complete the circular walk."
"Not suitable for wheelchair users or anyone with limited mobility."
"Moderate sized waterfall more of a wide one than a tall one, but after a bit of rain shifts a fair bit of water and has a good calming noise.. is right on the car park so if you have trouble with mobility or just don't like walking far it is perfect."
"Not suitable for pushchairs as walkway incomplete."
"Walk to the falls was closed due to putting new footpath in."
Cafes and Gift Shops
Pros:
"There are shops toilets and a very nice cafe adjacent to the car park other also other amenities close by."
"Great for walks, lovely gift shop on main car park entrance, lovely staff and very helpful cafe to side of shop as well."
"A craft shop and a couple of pubs if you are thirsty and hungry."
"Can highly recommend Leaping Salmon cafe for hot and cold food."
"There is a good cafe/restraunt next to the car park."
"There's a very good boardwalk along the river which makes for easy walking and good accessibility for those with mobility issues or prams. Not much room for two way passing though!"
"The cafe on the side of the falls car park served hot and cold drinks, a selction of light lunches and cakes, with gluten free options."
"Cafe and shop near entrance very reasonable."
Cons:
"also there is a little cafe that wasn't open which was a shame probably open in tourist season."
"Lovely walks but spoilt by lack of toilet facilities.... none in the cafe by the car park.....you have to go into the gift shop next door and there is only one toilet in there...hence quite a queue"
"Walk along the falls with the family. Had been told it was lovely here this time of year, but for us the best part was going up to see the “Kenneth” The cenarth rhino 🦏."
"£2.50 Parking charge welcomes you to this concrete plinth by the river. The riverside footpath is closed for repairs and the rocks are dangerous when wet."
"The robbing fee of £2.50 for the car park which is fine if you're there all day but apart from the falls, which can be viewed from the bridge & car park, there's not a lot to see."
"Car park very cheeky in season. Charge £2.50 all day which is great but they know that at the most you will only stay 1 hrs at the most."
"The water levels where low when I was there which was a shame. However you can tell in full flow it must be a sight to see."
"Scenic and interesting place to stop and wander around the riverside and the historic bridge."
