About Llyn Adar

Llyn Adar lies on the north eastern slopes of Cnicht, at about 1,874 feet. The association says it is not very accessible, a walk of one and a half to two hours from Tan y Grisiau, but worth the visit for the scenery, with trout up to 2lb regularly caught. It covers about 10 acres and fishes well with fly or spinner.
