The Devil's Appendix in Caernarfonshire is the tallest single-drop waterfall in the United Kingdom outside the Highlands, one of the tallest in the United Kingdom in any case. It is a plunge style waterfall located on the Clogwyn y Geifr cliffs beside the Devil's Kitchen in Cwm Idwal, within Snowdonia. It carries a tributary steam of the River Ogwen.
The fall is formed where a small stream falls for approximately 305 feet to reach the slopes above Llyn Idwal.[1] Depending on flow, it can be either an ice climbing route, a single drop waterfall, or a broken waterfall.[2]
