Ffynnon Llugwy

Ffynnon Llugwy is a lake in the Carneddau range of mountains in Snowdonia, North Wales.

It lies at a height of about 1786 ft and covers an area of some 40 acre. It has a maximum depth of 146 ft.

Since the early twentieth century water has been taken from its outflow, Afon Llugwy to feed Llyn Cowlyd via a series of leats.

Since the mid 1970s the lake has additionally acted as a reservoir for Bangor and eastern Anglesey, which necessitated the laying of an 11-mile pipeline to the water treatment works at Mynydd Llandygái.

It is the source of the River Llugwy (Afon Llugwy) which flows via Capel Curig and Betws-y-coed before becoming a tributary of the River Conwy.
