LLYN ALAW SSSI

This shallow drinking water reservoir was built in the 1960s over the former peatland of Cors y Bol and now constitutes Angelsey's largest lake, supporting various waterfowl. The draw-down zone around the perimeter supports a number of interesting plants including needle spike rush and pillwort. There is a visitor centre at the western end near the dam from where a recreational trout fishery operates. There was formerly a common tern colony at the eastern end of the lake..
