A secret underwater village hidden for over 40 years has been uncovered as Britain's scorching heatwave dries up the lake where it was previously hidden.
The houses that used to make up the village of Llanwddyn can be seen for the first time since the intense drought of 1976, as the lake in central Wales has dried up so much after weeks of scorching temperatures that it is practically half empty.
Beautiful Lake Vyrnwy in Powys is on the edge of Snowdonia National Park and the reservoir would usually be 90 per cent full of water at this time of year.
