We were driving along the A493 coast road on the west near here and saw the sign so thought we would take a look. I must warn you it is quite a hair raising drive from this side! Step, narrow, with few passing places, hair pin bends and a crest you drive over where the angle is so high you momentarily cannot see if there is anything the other side! Plus you will need to own farm gates as you go along, don't feel like we initially did that you are going the wrong way! We were amazed when we finally got there to see so many vehicles in the car park. We left from the other exit which takes you towards Dolgellau and this is a much easier route. Views here are stunning and we climbed up the big rocky hill near here to get a view looking down which was well worth it, despite winds that felt like they would knock us off

Our favourite distant view of this lovely lake is when topping the Tal y Llyn pass on the A487 south of Dolgellau heading towards Machynlleth. It's stunning and you wont be disappointed after driving down the pass and taking the B4405 towards and alongside the lake. It is a tranquil area except for the odd days when the RAF and other Air Forces use the pass as their "Mach-loop" training area. It is noisy for brief periods but we love to see the different aircraft and the pilot skills too. In addition to the lake itself being lovely and scenic, the surrounding mountains, especially our favourite Cadre Idris, are a joy to see as is walking around the lake. There are a couple of hotels on the west side of the lake, but as we have not frequented either for several years, cannot comment on the services they currently provide. We have eaten numerous times at both in the past and thoroughly enjoyed the food and welcome there. Fishing is available on the lake and in the past you could purchase fishing permits from one of the hotels, although we do not know whether this facility is still available. We definitely recommend spending some time at Tal y Llyn.

Fabulous walk , plenty of resting benches along the way and a fabulous Tea shop to stop at, and a chance to see the horse drawn barges
