Nant Moch Reservoir

In 1964 the Rheidol River was dammed near to its source to form Nant-y-moch Reservoir, 3 miles north of the village of Ponterwyd.

The reservoir flooded a part of the valley of the River Rheidol and its name was taken from the stream, the Nant-y-moch (in English = the pigs stream), which formerly flowed into the River Rheidol at this spot.

The reservoir is part of the Cwm Rheidol hydroelectric power scheme. Further down river is the Rheidol Power Station's visitor centre.

Set in a remote part of the Cambrian Mountains, the Pumlumon (five peaks) Ridge offers wonderful wild mountain scenery.

There is parking and excellent dog friendly walks.
