frozen =Llyn Mair "(Welsh : 'Mary's lake')" is a 14 acre artificial
lake located at gbm4ibx|SH652412 inNorth Wales . It lies in the area ofTan-y-Bwlch , a little above Plas Tan-y-Bwlch, and is in the catchment area of theRiver Dwyryd . It was created by W.E.Oakeley (of Plas Tan-y-bwlch) as a 21st birthday present to his daughter Mair, and as a water supply.The lake is set alongside the B4410 road, a minor road linking the village of Rhyd. The position of the lake bordered with ancient
oak woods and its tranquil appearance makes this a popular picnic site for visitors and it also provides a starting point for a number of local country walks. There is some limited parking available just off the road.The narrow gauge
Ffestiniog Railway runs through the woods above the lake, andTan-y-Bwlch railway station can be reached on foot from the lake.The lake also has a notable echo because of the shape of the surrounding hills.
