About Llyn Fawr

Llyn Fawr is a 24 acre lake at 368 metres near the source of the Rhondda Fawr, south of Rhigos and overlooked by the crags of Craig y Llyn. It began as a smaller lake and was made into a reservoir in the early 20th century. Upper Rhondda Angling Association fishes it, and the club says its own fish farm produces the fish for the lake.
