Llyn Llech Owain

Llyn Llech Owain boasts a beautiful woodland walk around a lake that pictures can’t do justice.  There is a network of footpaths for enjoyable walking and many paths are well surfaced to accommodate for all types of walkers.

A legend has it that historic serviceman Owain Lawgoch (known as Owain The Red Hand in the Hundred Years’ War) was entrusted to look after Mynydd Mawr, a well on the mountain. Every day, after withdrawing enough water for him and his horse, Owain was always very careful to replace the stone slab which held back the water. However on one occasion he somehow completely forgot to do that and an absolute torrent of water poured down the side of the mountain! The resultant lake was hence named Llyn Lech Owain, meaning ‘the lake of Owain’s slab’! (Llyn Llech Owain, 2021).
