Canolfan Tryweryn Water Release Notification

Releases from Llyn Celyn are controlled by the Environment Agency. There are a number of factors taken into consideration for releases including recreation, fisheries, power generation, flood control and water extraction. Canolfan Tryweryn has an excellent relationship with the EA but Canolfan Tryweryn does not have any control over water releases. The EA advises us of the water releases and, as soon as we have received the release information, we up-date both this web-page and the water information line - 01678 520826

Date: Thursday 15th May

Top Site

There are safety and rescue courses on this weekend. Access is for course students only while the top site is in use for the course.

Lower river
The lower river is open whenever there is a release from the dam – to access just sign-in at the centre as normal. Thank you!
Please be aware that with significant rainfall the levels in the lower river will be substantially more than in the upper/centre section and may be in the trees/fields.
