Llanuwchllyn

We travelled to Llanuwchllyn via Dolgellau where we parked up outside the village and wandered in for a look. It was a Sunday, so quite quiet in the town which has a fairly elegant market square. It sits on the River Wnion but access to the river is prevented by the installation of flood defence barriers.
Our site at Llanuwchllyn was located at the southern end of Llyn Tegid which is the largest natural lake in Wales.
The site called Bwch-yn Uchaf was also adjacent to the Lake Tegid narrow gauge railway which runs along the lake edge to the town of Bala. We booked ourselves in for the following day and looked forward to a fine day.
Waking to blue skies we enjoyed our ride along the lake side pulled along by a small steam engine in an open carriage.
There were lots of people on the water in boats, on paddle boards and in kayaks. We had a look around the town and found a seat by the side of the lake to read our books prior to returning to the siteRead more
