Brombil Reservoir
Highlight • Lake
The sheltered, tranquil aquamarine waters offers the kind of scene that you might associate with the glacial lakes of the Italian Dolomites rather than the nearby Port Talbot steel works that most people picture when thinking of this area.
Originally the site of a colliery supplying the nearby copper works at Taibach. After the colliery was closed mine was then flooded. The reservoir is over 100ft deep.
