    Hiking

    Llyn Ffynnon y Gwas, the Lake of the Servant's Spring, is a gorgeous, deep blue pool beneath Bwlch Cwm Brwynog on the Snowdon Ranger Path. It's a well known wild swimming spot in a stunning mountain setting, with some superb views towards Moel Hebog.

    Legend has it that a young shepherd drowned in the llyn while attempting to wash his master's sheep. As if to add credence to the tale, a ruined shepherd's hut stands eerily silent, watching on from the waters' northern end.
