Glandwr

 I've had a couple of queries asking for the location of Glandwr Pool  so here goes. It's  just to the east of the River Leri,  a few hundred yards upriver from the road and railway bridges at Ynyslas.

From Borth on the B4353, head north, do not turn off to Ynyslas but continue on the main road.  Cross the Leri then immediately after the railway level crossing there is a swing gate on the right hand side of the road.  

Go through and along the footpath to the railway.  Take the footpath along the left side of the river until you reach the main pool at Glandwr.  It's just before an old grain hopper, but very difficult to view as it's surrounded by reeds.  We used to climb up the riverbank but now hardly any water is visible even from the top.

Of course, you can cross the railway bridge and walk along the opposite bank for better views of Aberleri Fields and Cors Fochno.
