People looking to cool off in the heatwave are being warned to stay away from a Welsh beauty spot pool with a concealed entrance. The pool lies close to a pontoon that almost buckled under the weight of teenagers looking to escape record-breaking temperatures on Monday.
The sheer number of people visiting Llŷn Padarn in Llanberis, Gwynedd, this week has prompted fears some will seek alternative sites for a cooling dip. Gwynedd Council is urging visitors not to put themselves in “unnecessary danger” by breaking into the fenced Glyn Rhonwy site to swim in its quarry pool.
It follows reports that people are scaling the 6ft steel perimeter fence or cutting holes in the wire. Despite a large landslip there in the summer of 2020, which saw hundreds of tonnes of rock cascade into the lake, it continued to be used, NorthWalesLive reports.
