Llandegfedd Reservoir

Good place for windsurfing, SUP, dinghy sailing etc. Reasonable amount of parking spaces. If walking one of the scenic routes, be aware trails are not well sign posted and terrain is variable. Cafe facility is basic, not the most welcoming of staff, dirty tables, long wait even when not busy, saves only by the outdoor seating on balcony overlook the reservoir.

Can't praise this place and the staff enough. They made it very simple and easy to take our kayak down to the launch outside the water centre, unload, park and get out on the reservoir. Ten pounds for a day is a bargain and the centre itself is a good base with snacks, drinks and a clean convenience with a changing room. They hire out kayaks, water zorbs, and paddle boards at a reasonable price.The cafe was great too with delicious food that we all enjoyed. It can get busy but it's no wonder as the place is beautiful and the parking is free. Only think to bear in mind is that if you were planning a walk around the water with a buggy or pushchair you wouldn't get too far as it's wooded in places.

Had a great afternoon fishing here for trout. The reservoir is well stocked, course fishing also available. A wide selection of water sports is also available and staff are friendly. A gift shop and a really good Cafe are recent additions. The food is well presented and tasty!

This is a lovely RESERVOIR not a lake . Good walks etc . Spoiled by pay parking £ 3.00 .

Beautiful lake and great for watersports such as paddleboarding. Cafe is excellent and prices are reasonable. Have to pay for parking though, no cash needed

Brilliant walk! Breathtaking views over cwmbran and Newport in the distance! Heartwarming memorials! Walk takes a comfortable 1½-2 hours

Lovely place to go for a walk, participate in water sports or just sit and enjoy the view from the cafe balcony, or the benches around about.There are a few picnic tables with benches whilst some bring their own picnic chairs, books and thermos flasks to while away a sunny afternoon. Has a very easy going vibe.Parking is free, there is disabled parking available close to the visitors centre too. Toilets are free to use whether you use the cafe or not and are modern and clean. The prices in the cafe are very reasonable considering the view you get.The grounds are well kept. Just a stunning place to be shared and enjoyed by all. Check their website for information and booking water sports, and also details of the trial walks around the reservoir.Well done Dwr Cymru!

Lovely place, great views and walks. Not far from pontypool in car 5-10 minutes. Staff were friendly even though it's was almost closing time. Nice place to walk and get fresh air with different trails you can take. Great if you want to do watersport activities but we only went there in the late evening to have a look

Great place for a dog walk. Dairy-free alternatives available in the cafe.

Went here with my Mum and sister-in-law a few days after my Dad's funeral. It's really lovely calming and the food in the restaurant there is fresh and value for money.
