Beautiful lake set high above the village, challenging uphill walk starts from behind St Mary’s church (approx 45 mins) then levels out and you can walk all the way around the lake. You can also access via path behind waterloo hotel. A tranquil place of astounding beauty, my favourite place in the world. Treat with respect, take litter home with you. No swimming or water sports are allowed at Llyn Elsi.

The walk around the golf course is a lovely leisurely walk, alongside the riverbank with beautiful scenery. A great spot for paddling and swimming on warmer days, and a great walk/swim for dogs. (Dogs need to be kept on a lead and on the footpath).
