Tal-y-Llyn

The wondrous Llyn Cau cradled in its rocky cwm, high up upon Cadair Idris. I understand it was near the outflow of this lake, Nant Cadair – seen making its way to valley floor far left – that the ‘Tal-y-Llyn hoard’ was discovered by members of the public.... just imagine.... ‘Mummy, I’ve found some old bits of metal’.... ‘That’s nice dear. Go put them back now and drink up your Idris cherryade’. Needless to say we’ll never know whether the hoard represented a votive offering, perhaps ‘retrieved’ from either Llyn Mwyngil.... or indeed, Llyn Cau.... or ‘scrap’ being spirited away for ‘recycling’ from some other source? Intriguing.
