Set amongst the stunning mountain scenery of the Mawr, the Lower Lliw reservoir is surrounded by a variety of habitats including bracken, scrub, grass and woodland, supporting a variety of wildlife. If you're into birding, keep an eye out for Peregrine, Kestrel, Raven, Wheatear, Meadow Pipit, Skylark, Whinchat, Red Kite and Curlew - which have all been spotted here.

There is an accessible path to the South of Lower Lliw Reservoir that will take you all the way to the Upper Reservoir. The circular path closer to the shore-line features steep steps in places.
