:''For Swallow Falls along the Youghiogheny River in Maryland, United States, see Swallow Falls State Park.'' Swallow Falls is a name coined by early tourists for the ''Rhaeadr Ewynnol'' ((英語:Foaming Waterfall)), a multiple waterfall system in Wales, located on the Afon Llugwy near Betws-y-Coed, in Conwy county borough. It is visited by tens of thousands of tourists annually. It is thought that the English name arose from a mis-hearing of the Welsh word ''ewynnol'' (foaming) as the similar-sounding ''y wennol'' (swallow). In 1913 the second Lord Ancaster, the landowner, gave the Swallow Falls to the local council, who decided to charge for visiting it in order to pay off some of the £15,000 debt incurred through the installation of water and electricity supplies to the village. Once the debt was cleared the parish retained the fee, resulting in Betws-y-coed having the lowest rates in the country. This ended after Local Government re-organisation in 1974.〔(Swallow Falls Waterfall Betws-y-Coed )〕 ==Admission== Admission is via an automatic turnstile gate which rotates when a fee of £1.50 is inserted into the coin slot. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Swallow Falls」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
