Exposed Tree Roots Path

Highlight • Forest

This path has a lot of exposed tree roots, and when it's wet they are extremely slippery. As it's on a slope you could have a nasty fall, be careful!

A large lake on the borders of the Carneddau mountains. The lake itself is roughly 1.5km long, and about 15m deep at the deepest point.

The lake is a popular spot, with a picnic area, facilities and marked hiking trails.

The outflow of the lake forms Afon Geirionydd, which runs down a steep gorge, before joining Afon Crafnant.

Taliesin Monument

Highlight • Historical Site

A plaque on the shaft has an inscription both in Welsh and English, the later reads as follows:
'This monument was erected by Lord Willoughby d’Eresby circa 1850 to commemorate the reputed birthplace of Taliesin Chief Bard of the 6th century on the shore of Llyn Geirionydd. The arwest of Gwilym Cowlyd known as Arwest Glan Geirionydd, was held on the shores of Llyn Geirionydd with fellow poets Trebor Mai and Gethin Jones ("Gethin") because he thought the National Eisteddfod was too English.
He composed the ode "Mynydddoed Eryri" and a number of other poems which were published by his own press in the volume Y Murmuron in 1868.
He was buried in the churchyard of Saint Mary's Church, Llanrwst.
The column was destroyed in a 1976 storm and re-erected in 1994.
