Went to Llyn Llech Owain Country Park as I plan to paint it soon.. This is a stunning 158-acre expanse of woods and lakeland with nature trails
At the heart of this spectacular park is its dramatic lake which is surrounded by peat bog and there’s a lovely myth associated with Llyn Lech Owain. Legend has it that Owain Glyndwr, the last independent Prince of Wales who led a revolt against the Englis...h crown in the early 15th Century, was entrusted to look after a well on the mountain named Mynydd Mawr. Each day, after extracting enough water for himself and his horse, Owain was always careful to replace the stone but on one occasion he forgot and a torrent of water poured down the side of the mountain. The resultant lake was hence named Llyn Lech Owain - the lake of Owain’s slab.
