Llyn Celyn Resevoir, Snowdonia North Wales. Water lever extremely low due to our dry spell in the UK. lyn Celyn is a large reservoir constructed between 1960 and 1965 in the valley of the River Tryweryn in Gwynedd, Wales. It measures roughly 2.5 miles long by 1 mile wide, and has a maximum depth of 140 ft.
Llanycil - Mynydd Nodol seen across Llyn Celyn Construction of Llyn Celyn involved flooding the village of Capel Celyn and adjacent farmland, a deeply controversial move. Much of the anger was occasioned because the village was a strong-hold of Welsh culture and the Welsh language, whilst the reservoir was being built to supply Liverpool and parts of Wirral with water, rather than Wales. The legislation enabling the development was also passed despite the opposition of 35 out of 36 Welsh Members of Parliament, with the 36th not voting. This led to an increase in support for the Welsh Nationalist party, Plaid Cymru, in the late 1950s and gave fresh impetus to Welsh devolution. The drowned community is commemorated by the Tryweryn Memorial Chapel.
