Kayaker on the Tryweryn The Tryweryn is a popular white water river and the base for Canolfan Tryweryn - the National White Water Centre For Wales - as its summer flow is augmented by releases from Llyn Celyn to maintain water levels in the Dee for extraction downstream.

Llyn Celyn The reservoir was constructed between 1960 and 1965 with the purpose of maintaining the water level in the Dee in summer months to provide water extraction for Liverpool and the Wirral. The reservoir was very controversial, involving flooding the village of Capel Celyn to guarantee a supply of water outside of Wales.

View over Llyn Celyn Llyn Celyn was formed by damming the Afon Celyn. This was in order to regulate the flow of water into the River Dee (which the Celyn joined at Bala) as part of a project to supply a steady flow of water for the city of Liverpool which abstracted it from the Dee lower down.
