lAKE VYRNWY NATURE TRAILS
There are five nature trails ranging from 2 to 5½ miles for all abilities. You can circumnavigate the 12-mile lakeside road, visit the spectacular waterfall in the Rhiwargor valley or enjoy a ramble through ancient woodland and mountains. Or you can simply take a picnic at the side of the lake and soak up the tranquility.
LAKE VYRNWY SCULPTURE TRAIL
Walk the award winning Lake Vyrnwy Sculpture Trail with superb works of art dotted around the shores of the lake. The sculpture trail will help tens of thousands people who visit the lake each year to discover artwork by invited international artists alongside the work of local sculptors and temporary pieces by visitors. It began with the ideas of two men - Andy Hancock, a local sculptor, and Andy Hall.
Includes a 30ft pecking order pole of birds found on and around the reserve, plus otters, fresh water dolphins (!) and traditional pole lathes.
CHILDREN'S PUZZLE TRAIL
Ten beautifully crafted wooden animal pieces are hidden on trees and children have to solve the clues from a leaflet and have to try and find them. There are fifteen nest boxes for children to find, both on the ground and in trees.
The trails are designed to be educational and fun and share the theme of wildlife an puzzle solving within the beautiful setting of Lake Vyrnwy.
