Coed y Fron

Recent heavy rain had made the puddle several inches deep.

The hotel was built to exploit the views over the lake.

The water here was part of the Liverpool Corporation Waterworks scheme centred in Lake Vyrnwy. A description of the proposed works was posted in the London Gazette of 18/11/1879: 8. An Aqueduct (to be called the Marchnant Aqueduct) wholly situate in the township of Marchnant and parish of Llanwddyn commencing in the stream known as the Marchnant about 2 chains above a dam or weir to be placed across the said stream at a point, thereon 6 chains or thereabouts in a southerly direction from the farmhouse known as Gwreiddian and terminating in the said intended reservoir at a point 14 chains or thereabouts in a northerly direction from the Cynon Isaf farmhouse aforesaid.

Looking up towards the dam. Forestry is the predominant industry.

The beginning of a path across the forested ridge.

This is only a small operation but it has plenty of local material.

Necessary housing viewed in fading light on a wet winter afternoon.

The former pitch for Llanwddyn Football Club. It is certainly a community asset, but I am not sure who is currently using it.

Part of the Vyrnwy Estate. There are lots of very neat little piles of logs, but one cannot tell what use will be made of them.

Part of the relocated churchyard.

The river is quite full and flowing fast.

The sculptures are all wooden and from a range of international contributors. The trail offers good views of Lake Vyrnwy.
