Why should we love Llyn Padarn?

“Loving our Lake” started in 2012 as a 12 month programme of activities to investigate what we, as a community, can do to help improve the water quality of Llyn Padarn. Water quality is currently excellent, but it takes hard work and vigilance to keep the water sparkling and clear. Many of our day to day activities as we live and work in the valley impact upon the lake. Through ‘Loving our Lake’ we encourage those simple actions which will have the most beneficial effect on the water quality. We run a full programme of community events and activities to spread the word to everyone who lives, works and visits the valley as to how they can help to protect Llyn Padarn.

The project is supported by Dŵr Cymru, Welsh Water and Natural Resources Wales

Loving OUR Lake

Whether you have a business on the shores of the lake, enjoy swimming in the lagoons, catching fish, walking your dog, or you simply drive past it everyday, all of us who live, work or holiday in the Llanberis valley have a link to Llyn Padarn. To help protect the lake for the future, we can all make some simple changes to our day-to-day activities that will reduce the input of harmful nutrients.
