Why it's Wildland

5.8

A mountain lake reached on foot, with rocky banks and a backdrop of the Rhinogydd. The approach is part of the experience: the fishing guide describes a 30–45 minute walk to the lakes and views it calls rewarding.

Llyn Eiddew-mawr offers a proper mountain-lake approach rather than a roadside viewpoint: a walk of around 30–45 minutes leads to rocky shores beneath the surrounding mountains. Check access arrangements before visiting.
