Description
The Stwlan Dam climb is on a road closed to cars. The road is used by the odd car from the electricity company but that is the only traffic you will meet. This road leads up to the dam way up in the hills above the village of Tanygrisiau. The dam feeds water from the lake at the top down to the lake by the village which runs a power station.
