Such a beautiful picture of our local lake 💕

We see plenty of beautiful perspectives of Lake Vyrnwy, but this one from Jonathan Rudd is a bit different.

He shared this gorgeous aerial shot with our camera club.

An interesting piece on the history of the flooded village beneath Lake Vyrnwy. Just 15 minutes away, it is a beautiful place to visit.

It's easy to write about old Llanwddyn - the lost Victorian village hidden under Lake Vyrnwy.

Our lovely 4 bedroom cottage sleeps 8 people and welcomes two well behaved dogs.

It's Look Up At The Sky Day! 🔭 💫 🔭

Lake Vyrnwy and The Berwyn Mountains are ideal for stargazing. 🌟

Did you know that Lake Vyrnwy has so little light pollution that it is one of the best locations in the UK to experience the wonders of our Universe all year around!? 🌌

We captured a picture of this nocturnal visitor to the property on our trail camera last night. There was also a poor image of a fox too. It’s amazing how much activity goes on while we sleep.

30/03/2022

We are really excited for the show, back after a two year break!

22/03/2022

If you planning to visit Lake Vyrnwy on the 22/03/22 -23/03/22, please be aware that the road from the toilet block down the main car park will be closed due to resurfacing of the road! 🚘

The toilets will be open as usual and the cafe will be accessible on foot. Please follow signage and be mindful that there will be heavy machinery in use! 🛻

There is plenty of parking available around the lake as well as some brilliant trails for you to enjoy 🌲

A great stop on a walk around Lake Vyrnwy.

The tallest tree in Wales got damaged by a storm and was supposed to be cut down, instead chainsaw artist Simon O'Rourke found a better solution to symbolize the tree’s last attempt to reach the sky.

Some fantastic activities.

I thought I’d share just a few of the final reviews of 2021. We thank all of our lovely guests for staying with us over the last 18 months.

We thought we’d go for our last walk of 2021 at Lake Vyrnwy. She was flowing fast today.
Wishing you all a wonderful 2022!

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas 🎄

23/11/2021

Looking forward to it 😁

22/10/2021

Some fun fungus finds this week 🍄

21/09/2021

Watching our beautiful honey bees on the sedum today in the peaceful sunshine. It is easy to forget about our pollinators but as the lovely blooms of summer start to die back, it is important to have some late blooming flowers to help these girls stock up for a long winter ahead 🐝💕

24/08/2021

Our new favourite place to enjoy the lovely countryside that surrounds us. It is such a peaceful place full of wonderful wildlife.

05/08/2021

Wow! That’s a lot of water 💧

Did you know that when the reservoir is full, it is 26 metres (84 ft) deep and contains approximately 59.7 gigalitres of water. That is the equivalent to 13,500 Olympic sized swimming pools! 😱
