Llandegfedd Reservoir, Water supply reservoir and bird sanctuary in Denbighshire, Wales.
The 174-hectare reservoir spans across Monmouthshire and Torfaen counties, providing essential water resources to the surrounding communities and Newport region.
Cardiff City Council inaugurated the reservoir in May 1965 after acquiring seven properties through compulsory purchase orders from local farmers and families.
The reservoir functions as a country park where locals gather for outdoor activities, connecting the community through nature-focused recreational pursuits.
Visitors can participate in sailing, windsurfing, and fishing activities, with equipment rentals available from Easter through October at the RYA-recognized school.
The reservoir holds a British record for pike fishing, with a specimen weighing 46 pounds and 13 ounces caught by Roy Lewis in October 1992.
