From the Wikipedia article
Llyn Llydaw (Welsh for 'Brittany lake') is a natural lake in Snowdonia National Park on the flanks of Snowdon, Wales' highest mountain. This long thin lake has formed in a cwm about one-third of the way up the mountain. It is one of the most visited lakes in the United Kingdom, in that many thousands of people every year visit Snowdon and many walk past this lake on the Miners' Track.

Background
History
Llyn Llydaw is the largest of the three lakes on Snowdon's eastern flank. Higher up lies Glaslyn, and lower down lies Llyn Teyrn. In 1905, a 2 km pipeline was built from the lake into the valley below. Water from the lake powers the Cwm Dyli hydroelectric power station 320 m below. The pipeline and power station continue to operate.
