The lake Glaslyn in front of Llyn Llydaw, seen from Snowdon

Glaslyn (Welsh for blue lake) is a lake in Snowdonia National Park on the flanks of Snowdon in Wales. It is roughly round and has formed in a cwm about two thirds of the way up the mountain. Its special significance is that it is one of the most looked-at lakes in the United Kingdom. Thousands of people every year visit Snowdon and most walk right past this lake on the Miners Track and also from above on the PYG track.

The lake is visible from Crib Goch and from the summit of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon).
