Tal-y-llyn Lake, Gwynedd
Tal-y-llyn Lake is a large glacial ribbon lake formed by a post-glacial massive landslip damming up the lake within the glaciated valley. It is situated at the foot of Cadair Idris, the second highest mountain in Wales, at the southern end of the Snowdonia mountain range.The River Dysynni flows from the lake, through the village of Abergynolwyn, and discharges into the sea north of Tywyn.
Tal-y-llyn Lake is a much admired, photographed and painted lake. The original name of the lake was Llyn Mwyngil – in Welsh meaning “fertile narrow lake” but in English it was dubbed “the lake of quiet retreat”.
