Cwm Idwal

Cwm Idwal was Wales’ first National Nature Reserve (NNR). Officially recognised in 1954 by the Nature Conservancy, it is one of the finest places to see how glaciation and post-glacial processes shaped our dramatic landscape.

 

The cwm forms a magnificent amphitheatre behind the glacial lake of Llyn Idwal and forms part of the Glydeiriau and Cwm Idwal Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
