Why it's Wildland
6.1A remote upland lake in the Elenydd, reached on foot across open moorland and known in the supplied accounts for wild brown trout.
The lake’s appeal is its remote, open-moorland setting rather than visitor facilities: the sources describe a demanding-feeling walk through the Elenydd to wild upland lakes. Access rights are not confirmed, so check before planning a visit.
