The Devil's Appendix (in Welsh: Nant Clogwyn y Geifr) is a very tall waterfall in Wales. It is one of the highest waterfalls in the entire United Kingdom. This waterfall is a "plunge" type, meaning the water falls straight down without touching the rock face.
It is found on the Clogwyn y Geifr cliffs. These cliffs are next to a place called Twll Du in Cwm Idwal, which is a beautiful valley in Snowdonia, Wales.
What is the Devil's Appendix?
The Devil's Appendix is formed by a small stream. This stream drops about 93 meters (305 feet) down the cliff. It lands on the slopes above Llyn Idwal, which is a lake.
How the Waterfall Changes
The Devil's Appendix looks different depending on the weather.
- When there is a lot of water, it looks like a powerful, single waterfall.
- If the water flow is less, it might become a "broken waterfall." This means the water breaks into smaller streams as it falls.
- When it is very cold, the water can freeze. This turns the waterfall into an exciting ice climbing route for adventurers!
