Llynnau Mymbyr, near Capel Curig, Dyffryn Mymbyr, Snowdonia, Wales.
Llynnau Mymbyr are two lakes located in Dyffryn Mymbyr, a valley running from the village of Capel Curig to the Pen-y-Gwryd hotel in Snowdonia, north-west Wales. The A4086 runs along their northern banks. The Snowdon Massif is in the background. Strictly speaking this is one lake with a maximum depth of 30 feet and about 3/4 mile long in total. But a delta has built up midway along the north shore, and effectively cut the lake in two. The river feeding the lakes is the Nantygwryd (or Nant-y-gwryd), which has its source at Llyn Cwm-y-ffynnon, also marked on maps as the Nant Gwryd, a tributary of the Afon Llugwy. The two rivers join at Capel Curig. The lake is used as a canoe training resource by Plas y Brenin, the National Mountain Centre, and other local education authorities.
