are born in the Berwyn mountains. The Afon Disgynfa is, at first, not unlike the other streams formed by rain leaking out of the moors.<\/p>\n<p>But the Disgynfa doesn\u2019t survive its sudden plummet over a sheer shelf of volcanic rock, a landform tough enough to have escaped the scouring of the glaciers in the last ice age.Transformed by the falls, the waters continue their journey as the Afon Rhaeadr.<\/p>\n<p>Spray from the cataract nurtures mosses and ferns. Around them, protected from sheep in a walled enclosure, beeches, birches, oaks and pines thrive. From a distance, the wooded gorge and falls resemble an almost Tyrolean scene, which is usually a fecund refuge for squirrels, woodpeckers and finches sheltering from the Berwyns\u2019 icy blasts.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;\">Take a journey up the waterfall with Neil Godlieb\u2019s film:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<iframe title=\"&quot;Pistyll\" rhaeadr=\"\"

The river boasts one of the steepest gradients from source to sea in England and Wales and the 120ft-high falls are at their most impressive after heavy rains.<\/p>\n<p>The woodland is a good habitat for birds, which are more easily spotted in the winter months when the trees have no leaves. Look out for dippers bobbing on the boulders in the river, while ravens, buzzards and peregrines soar in the skies above.<\/p>\n<p>Witness Aber Falls from the air with this video from Bangor

everything is clean and wet. Mist rises, trees transpire, moisture kisses your skin and wets your lips. Oxygen-rich air lifts your spirits and the sound of water fills your ears as it trickles down tracks, bubbles through moss, and crashes in creeks.<\/p>\n<p>The Mawddach bashes and caresses the rocks in its bouldery creek. Flashing water, too swift for plants to grow in, scours the rock and shingle bare. As you leave the evergreens for broadleaf woodland it sounds louder, ricocheting round its rocky creek, the whisky-coloured water exploding into jacuzzis of white bubbles.<\/p>\n<p>At\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.countryfile.com\/go-outdoors\/walks\/walk-coed-y-brenin-snowdonia\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Pistyll Cain<\/a>, the noise is cacophonous. You can see the falls well enough from the footbridge, but if you\u2019re sure-footed you can scramble around the slippery rocks to perch where little plants grow in crevices. White water plummets into the canyon down a stepped cliff, crashing with such force into the dark pool that it creates a permanent uprush\u00a0 of wave and spray, its turbulence shifting the air into cool thrilling winds<\/p>\n<p>More than 30 species of mammals have been recorded within a five mile radius of Coed y Brenin, including water voles.

waterfall in full flow\/Credit: David Head, Getty<\/span><\/figcaption><span class=\"&quot;im-image-caption&quot;\"\/><\/div>\n<p>You\u2019ll hear the roar of High Force long before you see the falls. The first sighting, from a juniper thicket on the lip of the gorge, is rendered even more impressive by its abruptness.<\/p>\n<p>People often mistakenly name High Force, which is 21.5m (70ft) tall, the highest waterfall in England. But it\u2019s Cautley Spout in the <a href=\"\/\/www.countryfile.com\/go-outdoors\/walks\/best-walks-yorkshire-dales\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Yorkshire Dales<\/a>, which boasts a single 76m (249ft) drop, that truly deserves the title. High Force is, however, England\u2019s largest waterfall by volume \u2013 something that you can\u2019t fail to notice as you watch the thunderous deluge from your vantage point.<\/p>\n<p>The upper whinstone layers of High Force contrast sharply with the lower, sandstone, shale and limestone. The water erodes these softer rocks more quickly, to the extent that periodically, they can no longer support the harder dolerite, which collapses into the river. The waterfall has so far retreated 700m (2,297ft) into its gorge.<\/p>\n<p>Experience High Force bliss with this aerial tour from SlammDunk Productions:<\/p>\n<iframe title=\"&quot;High\" force=\"\"

laurel, cherry, elm and lime trees. You might catch the blue flash of a kingfisher or a heron lifting elegantly from the water as you encounter the impressive White Lady Waterfall.<\/p>\n<p>This is the deepest gorge in south-west England and includes beautiful ancient oak woodland; the trees\u2019 fresh green leaves newly unfurled. A series of spectacular potholes line the gorge,\u00a0the largest of which is Devil\u2019s Cauldron.
