View of Llangorse Lake

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Llangorse Lake (Llyn Syfaddon) is the largest natural lake in Mid-Wales.
It is also one of the lakes around which mythical stories about the Afanc (a monster) are told.
The island contains the only crannog in Wales. Research showed that the crannog, an artificial island made with oak beams, layers of stones and earth, was probably constructed in the 8th century.
