View of the quarry in Llanwddyn, pictured around 1885. The quarry was used to supply stone for the construction of the dam.

Llanwddyn is a village and former parish in the north-west of Powys, Wales. It was in the historic county of Montgomeryshire.[1] The village gets its name from a saint named Wddyn.[2]

The original village was destroyed by the creation of Lake Vyrnwy in the 1880s.[2] The village now exists just below the dam.[3]
