<\/p>\nA WATERFALL in the UK has been compared to landscapes seen in Jurassic Park films and has even featured in some other Hollywood blockbusters.<\/p>\n
Wales is home to some of Great Britain's most impressive natural scenery, however this particular waterfall can be found hidden away in an old slate quarry.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
Dinorwig in Snowdonia is home to the former quarry, where the Welsh Slate Museum can also be found.<\/p>\n
It's known as the "electric mountain" because of a hydroelectric power station now found inside the surrounding hills.<\/p>\n
Its natural beauty has drawn attention on social media, with Instagram accounts @heykeyt and @ukhiddengems sharing a video from the spot.<\/p>\n
They wrote about the waterfalls: "Feeling like I\u2019m in some movie, where I\u2019m going on this wild \u2018snakes and ladders\u2019 route\u2014climbing rock walls with rusty old ladders and venturing into Jurassic Park through the tunnels."<\/p>\n
Their followers were very impressed with what they'd seen, with plenty of them expressing their amazement at the site.<\/p>\n One wrote: "This looks amazing."<\/p>\n Another said: "I need to go here."<\/p>\n A third added: "it\u2019s a spectacular place to visit."<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The comparison to a Jurassic Park film wasn't far off, with films like Tarzan, Angelina Jolie's Tomb Raider and Clash of the Titans all filmed at the slate quarry.<\/p>\n It's easy to see why they picked the location, with photographers waxing lyrical about it as a subject to be put in front of a camera.<\/p>\n Landscape photographer Paul Marsden described it as "a must-see photography location".<\/p>\n He wrote: "An enchanting waterfall lies hidden deep in the bowls of the sprawling Dinorwic Quarry, near Llanberis in North Wales."<\/p>\n It's not just outsiders who have been amazed by the scenery surrounding the quarry, with Llechi Cymru describing it as "astoundingly beautiful". <\/p>\n The ruins of 13th century Dolbadarn Castle are among the features also worth visiting nearby.<\/p>\n It can be found overlooking Llyn Peris, a 1.8km long lake, with mountain Elidir Fawr opposite.<\/p>\n It's far from the only waterfall in Wales to have played a part in modern films.<\/p>\n Pistyll-Rhaeadr can be found near Powys and is believed to have influenced writer J.R.R. Tolkien, author of Lord of the Rings.<\/p>\n The falls are taller than Niagara Falls and have been compared to the Elvish town of Rivendell from the books and movies.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, in the Brecon Beacons, Henrhyd Falls have become known as Batman Falls due to their appearance in the film The Dark Knight Rises.<\/p>\n The natural feature was used as the secret entrance to the Batcave, a hidden dwelling where\u00a0Batman\u00a0stores his gadgets, suits and many vehicles.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, this triple waterfall in the UK has also featured in a huge Hollywood film.<\/p>\n And this "big girl" double waterfall in the UK has been described as tropical.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/TOB-Shropshire-travel_COMP.jpg\")
