Llyn Llywelyn is a small lake in Beddgelert Forest. It has been enlarged into a reservoir by the addition of a low dam which can be walked across. Llyn Llywelyn feeds the Afon Hafod Ruffydd-Isaf which subsequently drains into the Afon Colwyn and finally the Afon Glaslyn.
Place Fell, Due to the undulating land there are quite a few sheltered hollows to get out of the wind. Excellent view Eastwards for sunrise and the Westwards one is not too bad either!
