About the event

When you look at Llyn Brenig and the surrounding area today, it's difficult to imagine that it was once a vast Bronze Age cemetery. Long before the lake existed, our ancient ancestors used the area for farming, funerals and ceremonies. As evidence of the latter, they left many stone monuments, a number of which can still be seen today. Join archaeologist Gillian Smith for a unique and fascinating illustrated talk on the pre-history of the area.

The talk will be introduced by the ancient sounds of the didgeridoo and a 'wolf tale' by storyteller Andy Harrop-Smith.  Afterwards, if you choose, you can join a guided tour of the Llyn Brenig Archaeology Trail with Andy and Sarah (Brenig Osprey Project Officer), of the funerary monuments still visible on the hills and shore-line of the lake (about 4km walk/some hills).  The tour (not obligatory!) will require a short car journey to the far side of the lake that incorporates some negotiable pot-holed tracks.

Decent walking boots needed and waterproof clothing in case of rain.

There are lots of other things to see and do at Llyn Brenig! Discover beautiful walks, explore the adventure playground, and see the magnificent ospreys!
