LLYNGWYN 

Llyngwyn is a 16 acre spring fed natural lake situated in a secluded area 3 miles east of Rhayader, accessible off the A44 and the A470. As long ago as the 12th century this lake was stocked with Carp by the Cistercian Monks from nearby Abbey-Cwm-Hir. The lake was fished by the Monks on their travels from the Abbey at Strata Florida. The same strain of Carp still exists in the lake today and you can fish for them using fly fishing tackle.
