The Llyn Clywedog
The Llyn Clywedog is a man-made reservoir formed by the construction of the Clywedog Dam. The lake has a surface area of 615 acres (230 football pitches), is 216 ft deep at its maximum depth and stretches in all a distance of some six miles. Viewing points and picnic areas arranged along the circular drive around the lake enabling visitors to enjoy the wonderful panoramic views and the Bryntail mines also make for exciting exploring and a picnic spot.
Walking
Llyn Clywedog has two marked trails which highlight the breathtaking scenery and stunning views of the dam itself. Around the Lake there are a number of walks including the Clywedog Gorge Trail around the Bryn Tail Mine workings and the Llyn Clywedog Scenic Trail. The National Trail of Glyndwr’s Way also passes beneath the dam before pursuing a course along the southern shore of the lake.
Fishing
The reservoir is also one of the country’s leading fisheries for fly fishing, and has attracted former American President Jimmy Carter in the past. The lake is amply stocked with brown and rainbow trout.
Sailing
Sailing on the lake is run by the Clywedog Sailing Club. Both organisations hold numerous competitions and regattas throughout the year and visitors are always welcome.
