Lake Vyrnwy is a Victorian reservoir in North Wales built in the 1880s by the Corporation of Liverpool, by flooding the valley and village of Llanwddyn in Montgomeryshire, the village having been relocated. The reservoir's straining tower is a renowned Gothic pointed tower over 48m (160ft) high, with an arched bridge running to the shore.
The lake was stocked in 1889 with 400,000 Loch Leven trout and the reservoir is known for fishing as well as its scenic beauty. The RSPB and Severn Trent Water jointly maintain a nature reserve around the reservoir, where several species of bird breed.
