Llyn Clywedog Reservoir and Dam

Highlight • Lake

Llyn Clywedog is a man made reservoir built between 1965 and 1967 to help regulate the flow of water in the Severn. It's also used to reduce the risk of flooding up and downstream.
Amusing comparison but the lake holds the equivalent of 264 billion glasses of water or 550 million baths.
The area around the lake is a well kept habitat for many birds and animals including recent visits from ospreys. The lake is well stocked with trout and a popular fishing destination.

Rhayader Town Clock

Highlight • Historical Site

Situated on the River Wye, Rhayader has many beautiful landscapes to explore nearby.

A small market town, Rhayader has long been a natural stopping point for travellers – from the Romans who had a camp in the Elan Valley, to the monks who travelled between the abbeys of Strata Florida and Abbeycwmhir and drovers who were heading to market with their livestock.

Today Rhayader offers a choice of pubs and cafes for a welcome refreshment stop.
