The Garden Art section should be removed it is blatent promotion of the business,

Why? If it really is the worlds largest garden maze, is that not something really important to add to the article?--Shuyin05 23:12, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Eigiau picture[edit]

Is the caption to the breached dam picture correct? I am fairly sure that the Lyn Eigau dam was rebuilt following the breach. Unfortunately I don't have the best reference book (Industrial locomotives of North Wales) to hand. I think the reservoir became redundant when a tunnel was constructed to Lyn CowlydCrantock 21:20, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's how it looks now, and caption is correct. It was never rebuilt (see also article on Llyn Eigiau). It still operates as a reservoir, with water going to Llyn Cowlyd as you say, but the water lever is much lower, in its natural basin, well below the level of the old dam in the picture.

I'm afraid the caption IS wrong. The remenants of the dam still exist. The gap illustrated IS NOT the breach which caused the 1925 flooding, which is smaller and infact directly faces the rocky cliff seen in the photo. The real gap has a large channel to its fore, where the escaping water bore through the soil.

You could well be right, and what you say makes sense. At least one source says that a second breach was made to prevent the dam filling up again, and yet some photos of the dam, apparently taken at the time (http://www.oldphotos.co.uk/dolgarrog.htm) show THIS breach. Most sources seem to -assume- that this is the breach. It would be useful to solve this one - do you have any references? Hogyn Lleol ([[User talk:Hogyn

p.s. Have a look at this picture - (http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/61038). Is this the same breach? It seems to show a scoured channel. Hogyn Lleol (talk) 13:49, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that is the correct aperture. It is characteristically smaller, has ragged sides and has the appropriate trench extending away from its fore. If anybody has the know-how (because I don't), then it would certainly improve the article by removing the erroneous photo and replacing it with this good picture.
