Llyn Nantlle Uchaf is a gorgeous little lake in the tranquil Nantlle Valley. It used to be one of two lakes here, however the lower lake was drained to protect the slate quarries.
It was the subject of a famous 18th-century painting, 'View of Snowdon from Llyn Nantlle' by Richard Wilson, and is also the main setting of the fourth branch of the Mabinogion, Britain's earliest prose stories.
