Llyn Brenig Visitor Centre

It's become a fabulous hub for visitors. You can book water based activities, hire a boat or bike, grab a coffee or some lunch, and keep an eye on the Osprey eggs. The walking is peaceful with spectacular views. Not much cover outdoors so take precautions when it's hot.

Great walk around Brenig and Alwen. Beautiful scenery, peaceful and not too challenging for walkers.
Loads of water-based activities available, mainly in summer.

This is the second time I hired a bike and the staff at the centre are so helpful! It’s easy to book online and the process is so simple. Did a beautiful ride round the lake and hiring is so much easier that transporting a bike! £16 for 3 hours is so worth it and you are given all the information you need! Will definitely be doing again!

This membership includes 10 x self launch slots which is a saving of 50% when booked individually. The pass is redeemable until the end of the summary season (October 2026, depending on weather conditions). Launch your own paddle craft and take your adventure on to the water. Explore Llyn Brenig and see its spectacular scenery and wildlife from a different perspective. After a safety briefing and competency test you can set off on your journey. Pricing is based per craft, not per adult. [note that when booking, the system assumes 1 adult = 1 craft]. The number of persons that can take part per craft is dependant on the craft capacity. For example, a two person kayak means only two people can take part in the activity or a paddle board is for one person only. We reserve the right to withdraw access to the water if the conditions are not suitable or unsafe. All paddle craft will cease if wind speeds exceed force 3. Self launch permitted is limited to paddle boards, kayaks and canoes. All craft must pass a safety and biosecurity check.
