Llyn Clywedog Reservoir, Lakes and Reservoirs Llanidloes, Powys - Wales where to go, what to see and where to stay in Wales

To many Clywedog is the most beautiful lake in Wales, offering stunning scenery and wonderful fishing. There is an abundance of wildlife with Red Kites, Buzzards, Canada Geese, Peregrine Falcons, and Ospreys. Squirrels are a common sight, and there are polecats, foxes, and the short tailed vole, which has the unhappy distinction of being the primary source of food for the birds of prey that inhabit the lake shore. The local fishing association, Llanidloes Angling Society, release about 30,000 fish into the lake each year including brown and rainbow trout,, making Clywedog one of the most popular lakes in Wales for serious anglers. Indeed the Clywedog is the venue for the annual European Open competition in June of each year.
