Llyn Brianne Reservoir: Standing on the Dam

When you visit Llyn Brianne today you will be hit by the solitude and tranquillity of the place.  Sometimes it is eerily quiet here.  

Stand on the dam wall where Jack the dog is above and look out over the valley below. It is then that you realise what a massive structure this is.  

It has been altered since 1973.  Its capacity has been increased and a hydro-electric station has been built at its base.  

It still regulates the supply of water in the river Tywi and maintains the water supply to homes and industry in South Wales.
