Terrain:

Terrain: A fantastic circular walk around the reservoir, featuring well-maintained paths that are a mix of wide, compacted gravel and tarmac sections. The terrain is generally gently undulating, following the contours of the reservoir and surrounding landscape, with some short, moderate inclines and declines. Paths are typically firm underfoot, though some grassy verges or less-trodden paths might become damp or slightly muddy after rain. Sturdy, comfortable walking shoes are recommended.

Accessibility: The main circular path around Llys-y-frân Lake and Reservoir is largely wide, well-surfaced, and designed to be highly accessible for many users. It is suitable for pushchairs, wheelchairs, and less mobile walkers for much of its length.

Dog Notes:

Dog-Friendliness: Llys-y-frân Lake and Reservoir offers an outstanding and incredibly popular destination for dog walkers, providing extensive lakeside trails and beautiful open spaces! Dogs are very welcome throughout much of the site. However, due to its status as a working reservoir and its importance for water quality and wildlife, specific and strict rules apply.

Llys-y-frân Reservoir and Country Park in Pembrokeshire is very dog-friendly, and dogs are welcome on leads throughout most of the park, including on the main perimeter trail and in outdoor seating areas of the cafe. Keeping dogs on leads is important due to cyclists on shared paths, proximity to the reservoir (for water safety and to protect waterfowl), and potential grazing livestock in some areas. Dog waste bins are provided. This Pembrokeshire park is a great place for a long on-lead dog walk.
