Eastern shore of Nant-y-moch reservoir
Looking at the northeastern tip of the reservoir, where the Afon Llechwedd-mawr (ahead) and the Afon Rheidol (right) meet. The little islet (spot height 344m shown on the 1:25k map) seems to be a peninsula at the present water level. The small clump of trees that can be seen beside the stream merging from the left marks the ruins of Drosgol farmhouse Link .

Built from 1957 to 1961, Nant-y-moch regulates the flow of water in the Rheidol hydro-electric scheme. The dam is 52m tall and the storage capacity is 26 million cubic metres LinkExternal link . The reservoir isn't usually used to supply drinking water, although temporary use for this purpose during severe droughts has been envisaged LinkExternal link .
