The village of Trawsfynydd, on the banks of the artificial llyn of the same name, is a great basecamp slap bang in the middle of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park. The trails of the Coed y Brenin Forest Park are nearby, while the Rhinogydd provide hillwalking of the highest quality. There's bunkhouse accommodation at the Cross Foxes pub, which also serves great food.

The village and lake are known for the nearby nuclear power station, which is no longer operational. Amazingly, at one time, the power it generated was enough to provide all of Wales' electricity needs.
