Tips

Llyn Cynwch acts as both a 'prequel' and 'sequel' to the Precipice Walk, one of the most famous and popular walks in the area with breathtaking views. You'll get a glimpse of the lake if you take the route counterclockwise and you'll see it in all its glory if you finish the walk with a nice, steady stroll along the banks.
Together with the Precipice Walk it is part of the historic Nannau estate and is a working water basin that has supplied drinking water for Dolgellau since 1968. Because it is a water basin, swimming is not allowed.
