Tal Y Llyn, Lake 1937

More about this scene

In translation, Tal-y-Llyn means 'the end of the lake': that aptly describes the location of the village, with its little church and inns in the shadow of Cadair Idris. It sits at the south-western end of the lake, where the River Dysynni comes tumbling out in a series of little cascades. The lake has always been famous for trout fishing. This view of Tal-y-Llyn lake—Llyn Mwyngil in Welsh—looks much the same today, with the slopes of Cadair Idris rising up on the left. On the right-hand shore the B4405 snakes along towards Cross Foxes and Dolgellau.
