Owain Glyndwr's Monument
Owain Glyndwr united Wales and opposed King Henry the Fourth's despotic
oppression of the people. At this place, Owain and his followers, hoplessly
outnumbered, engaged and defeated a formidable English army of over 10,000
men.
At the foot of Pumlumon Fawr lies the impressive
Nant-y-Moch reservoir and Dam. Once the scene, 600 years ago of a famous and
bloody battle, the valley was dammed to create a reservoir holding some 26000
million litres of water. A 4 kilometre tunnel conveys the water 350 metres down
to the Power Station in the Rheidol valley below.
