About Llys-y-frân: Our Story
The reservoir was first opened in 1972 by HRH Princess Margaret. We supply most of the water used by homes and industry in south Pembrokeshire. The dam is a feat of engineering, but it has also preserved this landscape as a haven for nature and wildlife.
Welsh Water is a not-for-profit water company. We don’t have shareholders, which means that we put every single penny we make straight back into keeping bills down and looking after your water and beautiful environment – now, and for years to come. We think it’s a much better way of doing things.
A £4 million major investment to the visitor centre and recreational facilities was backed with £1.7 million of European Regional Development Funds through the Welsh Government.
The Welsh Government’s Tourism Attractor Destination programme, led by Visit Wales, aims to create 11 must see destinations across Wales.
