Visited today and as we made our way in a lady come outside and asked if we needed change, we got talking and she invited us into her farm to see some new born lambs in the sheds , which we loved. I have no issue with paying the entrance fee as we done research before and discovered it’s her property that she’s developed to a tourist attraction. Other places like Conwy Falls also charge for admission and some Snowdon car parks charge up to £20 to leave your car in the car park to walk up. After reading other comments about people walking further up the path to find a free way in says more about a person trying to skip a £1 than anything else. After all its farmers land they can charge what they want.

We went with our 3 and just turned 6 year old I would not want to go with any children younger than this. We took the river route from the car park and the path is very narrow and the drop down to the river below is very very high. The steps down to the glen are steep, high and slate, so can be slippery. It is pretty but not amazing and based to the effort to get there I would not go back if in the area again. There are some picnic tables along the river which are nicely positioned for enjoying the views. It is £1 to park, £1 per adult and 50p per child- I think cash only. There are clear signs stating the price to enter the gate I don’t think you can genuinely miss the requirement to pay. Personally I feel you are accessing private land of which the path, fences, car park, bench’s and steps all need maintaining how can you expect it to be free. The signs are there if you do not wish to pay don’t go. The lady quite rightly is quick to come out and ask for payment.

Walking to the Fairy Glen was okay until going downhill on very steep, slippy ground. Two men fell within minutes of each other. No handrail or fences along the more dangerous parts. The river walk was very pretty but still uneven ground in places. I wouldn’t want to take young children and certainly not suitable for those who have any mobility issues

A really nice spot for a walk around the riverside. We went on a sunnt day and was quiet so got some great pictures. We walked there, so no parking fee, but paid the £1 each in the honesty box which was very cheap. A few picnic benches around and ideal for a pleasant afternoon.

The glen can be a little hard to find - it has a car park although I walked from Betws-y-Coed which took about half an hour perhaps. The walk itself is nice through woodland and along the riverbanks until you get to the entrance where you walk past the goats to the Glen itself. It can be a bit of a scramble and gets steep in places but is not too bad. The water was quite low when I visited so it was easy to scramble over the rocks for some close ups. A nice place to spend an hour or so.
