About

Trawsfynydd ward encompasses the village of Trawsfynydd and its surrounding rural landscape within the Snowdonia National Park. The area is dominated by the large freshwater reservoir of Llyn Trawsfynydd, originally created to serve a now-decommissioned nuclear power station. This substantial inland lake shapes the local geography and provides a habitat for wildlife. The ward includes stretches of the A470 road and areas of upland common, with the Rhinog mountains rising to the south.

The decommissioned Trawsfynydd Nuclear Power Station remains a prominent and unique feature on the lakeshore, with its twin concrete reactor buildings. The landscape is characterised by forestry plantations, grazing land, and the Afon Prysor river flowing into the lake. The ward's settlements are small, with the village acting as a central hub for the scattered rural community amidst this engineered and natural environment.
