Safety is paramount to all our activities. However, watersports and adventure activities are hazardous by their nature and there are risks.
Customers must comply with all safety regulations and instructions given by Llys-y-frân team at all times.
Dogs are always welcome at Llys-y-frân but we would like to remind visitors that the Dog Agility Area is the only place on site where dogs may be let off the leash. Dogs should be kept on a lead elsewhere – this includes the track around the reservoir – and out of the water.
Not every activity is scheduled every day and there are seasonal variations. Please check availability and pre-book activities to avoid disappointment.
