Trail description
The waymarked Llyn Elsi Walk starts on the forest road behind St Mary's Church in Betws-y-coed and climbs steeply through Gwydir Forest Park. A lakeside path then circles Llyn Elsi past the Ancaster monument, with views towards the Carneddau and the Glyderau. The reservoir dates from a dam built in 1914, which joined two smaller lakes, Llyn Rhisgog and Llyn Enoc.
