Llyn Alaw, Reservoir and Site of Special Scientific Interest in Isle of Anglesey, United Kingdom.

The reservoir spans 3.6 square kilometers with a length of 4.3 kilometers and reaches a maximum depth of 5.2 meters.

The construction of Llyn Alaw began in November 1965, flooding the marshland of Cors y Bol before its official opening in October 1966.

The reservoir functions as a primary water source for northern Anglesey, delivering 35 million liters of fresh water daily to local communities.

Visitors can access two bird observation hides, three designated picnic areas, and several miles of walking paths along the reservoir margins.

The reservoir contains multiple small islands that provide nesting grounds for common terns and shelter for various species of wildfowl.
