Llyn Clywedog reservoir Looking down to the Bwlch-y-gle dam from the slopes of Bryn y Fan. This dam is not the main one for the reservoir (that is in <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/SN9187">SN9187</a>), but was constructed to enable the level to be that much higher without the water escaping down this minor alternative outlet.

I have to say that I think the design of these essential reservoirs, here and in the Elan Valley, was an excellent example of sensitive landscape modification.
