Lake Vyrnwy nature trail and farmer's market coming up
Families visiting Lake Vyrnwy during the May half-term will be able to test their nature knowledge.
The visitor site will host its 'Move with Nature Trail,' inviting everyone to explore and enjoy the surroundings.
Participants can engage in a nature quiz and try out some of nature's key movements.
The trail, free for all, will run from Monday, May 26, to Sunday, June 1.
There is no trail sheet for the week; participants are asked to follow the markers around the Dam Trail.
Griff Watkins, Lake Vyrnwy visitor site manager, said: "Lake Vyrnwy is a fantastic place for families to visit during the half-term holidays with lots to explore and do.
"But we wanted to make sure there was something a little extra for everyone to take part in.
"The trail is a really fun way to engage the whole family and also use it as a learning experience for everyone as well.
"We look forward to welcoming everyone along during the holidays and hope they have a fantastic time."
Blue Monday's coffee and cake trailer will be stationed at Rhiwargor car park on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for visitors to enjoy.
In addition to the trail, the next farmer's market is set to take place on Saturday, June 7.
The market brings together local businesses and food producers to celebrate some of what Mid-Wales has on offer.
Visitors can come along anytime between 10am and 3pm to discover new products and learn about Lake Vyrnwy through the Vibrant Vyrnwy project.
During the holidays and events, more people are expected to visit Lake Vyrnwy, enjoy the spectacular scenery, and have a good time with the walking routes on offer.
However, visitors are asked to take note of the accessible routes as the clean-up after Storm Darragh continues.
Teams have been on site since the storm, working hard to clear the debris and remove the fallen trees.
This important work will continue during the half-term.
Rhiwargor Car Park has now reopened for visitors to use, although the circular road remains closed.
Storm Darragh hit Lake Vyrnwy early in December last year, causing significant damage with many trees uprooting and falling, blocking many of the trails and a large section of the perimeter road.
The Lake Vyrnwy Hotel, Artisan's café, The Chocolate Cabin, and the toilets are open, and the main car park and trails near the village are open and accessible.
For regular updates on the works and what is happening on site with the clean-up, follow Lake Vyrnwy and Hafren Dyfrdwy on social media.
Anyone interested in having a stall at the market should get in touch by emailing VisitorSites@
