Maentwrog Dam was built in the 1920s to provide a source of hydroelectric power. Later in 1965 the lake also became a source of cooling water for the nuclear power station.

Maentwrog Dam was built in the 1920s to provide a source of hydroelectric power for the Maentwrog power station. Later in 1965 the lake also became a source of cooling water for the Trawsyfynydd nuclear power station.

Trawsfynydd nuclear power station was the only inland nuclear power plant in the UK. It was able to be situated here because of the large lake that provided sufficient cooling water to the reactors. The power station switched on in 1965 and closed at the end of its safe life in 1991. The planned decommissioning was expected to take about 100 years but in 2021 the Welsh government started to explore plans to install a smaller reactor and reinstate the power station to help Wales reach zero carbon electricity production.

Lovely well signposted singletrack. It avoids riding on the busy neighbouring road but can be muddy after rainfall.

Dam that is easy to ride over, and the last paved section when riding around the lake anti-clockwise.

Built in 1992 to generate electricity after the nearby nuclear power plant was shut down.

Here you can learn that the nuclear power plant is no longer in operation, serves as a (temporary) storage facility and should be dismantled by the end of the century.
