It is one of the most visited lakes in the United Kingdom, in that many thousands of people every year visit Snowdon and many walk past this lake on the Miners' Track.

History

Llyn Llydaw is the largest of the three lakes on Snowdon's eastern flank. Higher up lies Glaslyn, and lower down lies Llyn Teyrn.

In 1905, a Script error: No such module "convert". pipeline was built from the lake into the valley below. Water from the lake powers the Cwm Dyli hydroelectric power station Script error: No such module "convert". below. The pipeline and power station continue to operate.

Popular culture

The lake featured in Robson Green's Wild Swimming Adventure (ITV December 2009), chosen because it is claimed to be the coldest lake in Britain. Green's website states that the water was 7 °C.[1]
