Llanfihangel Glyn Myfyr

This sleepy village lies in the fertile vale through which the River Alwen runs. Just to the north sretches the Clocaenog Forest, Wales’ second largest commercial plantation that covers much of the southern moorland between the vales of Clwyd and Conwy. Managed by the Forestry Commission, it has well-marked forest trails of varying lengths that lead walkers through the mixed plantations of larch, spruce, pine, beech, oak and ash.

On the edge of the forest lies Llyn Brenig, a massive man-made reservoir that was completed in 1976 to accompany the smaller Llyn Alwen, which dates from the early 1900s. Close to the dam, and reached along the B4501, is a Visitor Centre that explains the local history and ecology of this tranquil Welsh valley, as well as acting as a starting point for lakeside walks. By the lake, depending on the time of year, butterflies such as the Orange Tip and Tortoiseshell can be seen and, along with water sports on the lake, fishing is also available.
