Craig Yr Undeb
In 1874 the first meeting of the North Wales Quarrymen's Union was held on the large rock reflected in the lake. The quarry owners had forbidden meetings to be held on their time or property. As they owned most land in the locality this was effectively prohibiting the Union.
Lord Newborough, who wasn't a quarry owner but possibly liked to stir it a little on occasion, allowed circumvention of the prohibition by granting permission to hold meetings here, on land which he owned.
Passing underneath is the old road to Llanberis, now a pleasant footpath and cycle track.
