Lake Vrynwy

We visited Lake Vrynwy (VUHR-noo-ee) with our guests, this time taking in the Rhiwargor Waterfall (Pistyll Rhiwargor) as well.

This is the site of the old village, Llanwddyn that had to be relocated for the reservoir installation.

We topped off our visit with afternoon tea at the hotel overlooking the lake. It's a most spectacular view from the terrace. The Gothic Revival style straining tower, built at the same time as the dam wall (1880) can be seen protruding from the water.

We were baking in the sun since their beautiful patio area was very exposed and there were no trees or umbrellas to help keep us cool. We loved the teas and scones with clotted cream, but had the most awful service imaginable.
