The best place to park for Swallow Falls is at the Swallow Falls Hoteljust across the road from the visitor centre. There is no parking charge. During my visit in July 2022, renovation works were going on so the car park was closed. However, it was still possible to park along the roadside.

Is Swallow Falls Worth It?
Overall, no I don’t think Swallow Falls was worth the £2 entry fee. You won’t be there much longer than 15 minutes and it feels very touristy. I preferred Conwy Falls.
The Swallow Falls are well worth a visit whilst in Betws-y-Coed. They are impressive and I enjoyed watching the powerful full force of the falls. They do charge £2 to enter and all there is is to see the falls.
