Llandegfedd Reservoir, Water supply reservoir and bird sanctuary in Denbighshire, Wales.
Llandegfedd Reservoir is a water storage lake in Denbighshire, Wales, that supplies water to the region while providing habitat for numerous bird species. The water body is accessible along its shoreline and surrounded by open countryside.
The reservoir was built in 1965 as a water storage facility for the region. Its creation involved compulsory land acquisition from local farmers to make room for the construction.
The water body serves as a gathering place where local people spend time outdoors and enjoy water-based activities together. The surrounding landscape draws residents seeking recreation and time in nature.
The site permits activities such as sailing, windsurfing, and fishing with equipment rentals available during warmer months. Access around the shoreline is best during dry conditions when pathways are most walkable.
The water holds a fishing record for pike, with a specimen weighing about 21 kilograms caught in the 1990s. This catch story makes the location legendary among anglers.
