    Hiking

    Lake Vyrnwy is a reservoir in Powys, Wales, built in the 1880s for Liverpool Corporation Waterworks to supply Liverpool with fresh water. WHICH THEY DID NOT NEED AGAIN!!!
    It flooded the head of the Vyrnwy valley and sadly submerged the whole village of Llanwddyn.

    Hiking

    Get your picnic out - what an amazing location within the sculpture park. Several benches here or just bring a blanket and sit on the grass. The dam makes an amazing backdrop to this location !!
