Llyn Cwm Bychan

Llyn Cwm Bychan is approximately ½ mile in length and 504 feet above sea level. It lies at the head of a valley about 4½ miles north-east of the village of Llanbedr. A very narrow and winding lane follows the scenic Afon Artro valley, finally running alongside the lake to Cwm Bychan farm, which has a small parking and camping area (no facilities).

It's a good choice for a day out; the Rhinogs and the Roman Steps are within walking distance, and there are numerous smaller lakes high up in the mountains.

Comment : I had last visited about 50 years ago with my parents from Penarth in South Wales, and returned last September. The roads to get here are very narrow - proper single track with the odd passing space - but seem to have been tarmacced recently & a fair number of gates that you have to open and shut to get along. The lake and mountain are picture postcard perfect. It was very quiet when I visited - a few children on a stand up paddle board and as I was on my own, I had a quick dip with a tow float, fairly near the bank. think the water was a pleasant temperature and a peatey dark brown colour. Small car park with honesty box and no other facilities. Drove out of the valley and over the mountain - stunning views. Definitely off the beaten track and well worth a visit. Would be a lovely bike ride all in all too.

Comment : Please could you spread the word about Llyn Cwm Bychan in Snowdonia, having recently SCUBA dived there (27 Jun 2024), looking for a lost wedding ring, we encountered a lot of unexploded ordnance very close to the shore less than 10m and in only 1m of water, the bottom is littered with RPGs and hand grenades and bullets, it appears that this is a well known problem but appears to have been forgotten in recent years, no signs exist.
