What a beautiful place to visit. I highly recommend if you enjoy walks and wonderful views you head to Lake Vyrnwy. It is a beautiful dam great for talking photos. Parking: A new carpark is currently being created ready for spring 2022. Toilets: There are free very clean toilets available. Accessibility: whilst most areas are paved, it is rather steep in some areas which my be tricky for wheelchair users.

Absolutely amazing place , well worth a visit. The fact that you can drive all the way around, plus visit the waterfall adds to the beauty of the location .

Beautiful spot, not too busy in the morning (I was there at 10am), good parking and picnic area on the west side (from the dam end). If you want some spectacular scenery and don't mind the very narrow roads, take either the road on the west side up to Llanymawddwy (see photos), or the top road to Bala. The driving circuit around the entire lake is worth doing, even with the tree cover at lake side.

Fantastic place a must see 👍👍👍

Such a beautiful place so quiet and peaceful be sure to go to the waterfall at the bottom end of the lake the walk is great and only takes 20-30 minutes

Beautiful place to visit, great walking place. Parking available cafe with good food and decent prices Drive around the lake or walk, but that could take some time The view from the bridge is spectacular.

Just stunning. No phone signal at all. Peaceful and you can swim in the lake

Beautiful place. Lots space for hiking. Wonderful picnic spot.

Quiet breathtaking experience. Lovely walk around the dam. Car park has been recently upgraded and takes only cash payments but lots of lovely and helpful locals.

Lake Vyrnwy is a reservoir in Powys. It is great for a stop off point. It has tables set around the lake at different points. Wonderful for some watersports and sailing. Even some bird watching, some may even join you for your picnic. A beautiful spot to stop.

A really beautiful lake and dam. Recommend visiting. Great walk around the lake or cycle even just drive around. I would recommend taking food. There are some walks around there as well. There is parking in various places all around but a big parking area by the dam itself and a park right next to it as well. There is a cafe as well. Sandwiches are over priced for just a sandwich. The toilets in it are so disgusting the public toilets are better to use. There are a few water sports available there.

Loads of things to do, walk, run, cycle, sup, canoe or just enjoy the scenery.

Great place...check out the bird watching hide...

Lake Vyrnwy is another nice place to visit in Norther Wales. A dam built on the lake was beautiful one to visit.

Stunning walk, can park up in plenty of lay-bys around the lake and to walk round the whole lake takes around 3 to 4 hrs along very quiet road, lovely cafe at the main dam also for half way pit stop.

Good place to visit. Next to the bridge/dam there is a path up to sculptures garden and then various patch across the bridge. Clean and nice relaxing paths

Visited the lake, & surrounding area last week, what a joy to go somewhere unspoilt. The reservoir is home to the RSPB Lake Vyrnwy reserve. Plenty of scenic hikes, bike rides, & picnic spots along the lake, kayaking, play park & nearby coffee shop. ( clean toilets ). & the perfect view from Lake vyrnwy hotel & spa, relax with a drink overlooking the lake on the terrace. Amazing scenery.

Great place to spend a day on the lake. Boat and paddle hire available. Nice little picnic spot on the side of the lake too!

My absolute favourite place in the world 🌎 love the tranquillity, moments with nature. Love the hotel and spa . Just fabulous place to spend time reflecting on life xxx go visit you won't be disappointed!!!!!!

Beautiful scenery, friendly locals. Will definitely go again

Stunning lake with dam and other architectural features. Not as busy as places near the coast.

Very nice place to visit, some good stop off points and picnic areas as we drove all the way around, some good waterfalls and Woodlands, very peaceful. The dog enjoyed the shingle on shore and the access to the water, lovely place for all.

Always photogenic, a lovely part of Wales.

An amazing place Victorian architecture at it best surrounded by beautiful scenery and countryside

Lovely walks around the lake & up to the waterfall. Nice cafe next to the dam

Great ride out and a nice dark sky area.(camp fire was abandoned and not mine. I put it out when Ieft)

Beautiful place to visit and there is a park for the kids also seating areas if you want to take a pick nick

Nice drive around, but not much parking when it's busy, as it was chucking it down while we were there it wasn't a problem

Wonderful place to visit. Good cafe, easy parking, drive or cycle round the lake. Think i will be a regular here

Stunning beauty! We got there by chance, adjusting our routre and it was absolutely worth it! Beautiful green vibrant summer nature, and the stunning huge lake withgreat old dam

The bird hide here is absolutely amazing. Then a short trip to the other end of the reservoir for a picnic 🧺 by the waterfall. This place should be on everyone's list of places to go.

Stunning location. Loads of places to stop and view the lake with seating areas and picnic benches. The dam is breathtaking.

Absolutely love it here, not too busy, love riding the bike round the lake,big old gothic looking dam, beautiful.

Fantastic views from the Dam and of the Dam, the lake water is very low at the moment too. Nice little cafe at the side but a little expensive.

Stunning views.

Stunning lake and scenery! Lovely cafe and bird watching view point.

Flooded in the late 1800s to provide water for Liverpool, Lake Vyrnwy has something for everyone. A lakeside drive, although it can be difficult to see the Lake on some occasions, walking and cycle routes, water sports, a few shops and of course history. At the time of writing the levels have fallen a little and the flooded village is just starting to be visible. Eat locally, take a picnic or spoil yourself at the Lake Vyrnwy Hotel

Love place to walk around. Car park extremely busy. But there are places u can park along the side of the lake. Can imagine on a sunny day great place to picnic

Great day out, many wonderful sights along the path. wish we could have spent a few hours longer here.
