Brief description

"Set in the stunning mountain scenery that characterises the Mawr, north of Swansea, the Upper and Lower Lliw Resevoirs are open to the public all year round.

With walking routes, fishing, watersports, cafe and a sculpture trail, there’s plenty on offer for the visitor.

There are walks for everyone; from a short wander round a reservoir to an open moorland route of over ten miles. There’s also a four mile route suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs.

The lower and upper Lliw reservoirs are surrounded by a mosaic of habitats including bracken, scrub broadleaved woodland lowland acid grassland.

Both sites support a wide diversity of flora and fauna, many of which are considered rare. Birds identified on site include: peregrine, kestrel, raven, wheatear, meadow pipit & skylark, whinchat, red kite and curlew."
