A massive stone-built dam situated in the Snowdonia National Park, northwest Wales, standing 44 meters tall and 357 meters long, impounding the waters of the River Vyrnwy to create a large artificial lake, Llyn Vyrnwy, surrounded by picturesque countryside and rolling hills, offering scenic views, walking trails, and opportunities for birdwatching and fishing.
A beautiful place by one of the first man made lakes in the world. Created to supply the growing population of Liverpool in fresh clean water. Nearby hotel with beautiful lake view as well as charming waterfall at the other end of the lake
Lovely dam and views. It took about an hour to walk around and then we stopped for an ice cream and saw a lovely bird hide just next to the cafe.
Gorgeous lake and impressive Dam. Nice little walk around the area and lovely milk shakes in chocolate cabin. Large car park.
There are plenty of things to do things to do in the area. There are so many instagramable sites. The dam is great to drive over, and you can drive the whole way around the reservoir. Parking can be a bit difficult when it gets busy.
Some secluded spots a little off the beaten track. Well mapped and signed dogs welcome, easy access for parking and toilets
Great day out you can walk drive or bike around the lake also nature walks and coffee house and coffee shack for coffee ice cream and milkshake
