Tal-y-llyn Lake,[2][3][4] (Welsh: Llyn Mwyngil), also known as Talyllyn Lake and Llyn Myngul, is a large glacial ribbon lake in Gwynedd, North Wales. It is formed by a post-glacial massive landslip damming up the lake within the glaciated valley.[5] The hamlet of Talyllyn lies at the west end of the lake.[3]
