Sitting under the great hulk of Cadair Idris, Lake Gwernan is an eye-catching feature on Route 82 out of Dolgellau. The lake is 12 acres (5 ha) with gorgeous woodlands around the lakeshore. It’s a private fishing lake, owned by the adjacent hotel, and it’s a marvellous place to pause and take in the views.
