Came here for a nice walk with some views. All the smaller parking lots along the A498 were full, so we parked at the Craflwyn National Trust carpark. Did cost a small fee, but it's a safe spot with some shade. Also with some free toilets.
From there we walked to Llyn Dinas and then along the southern shore and back again.
From the parking lot to the lake it takes a while. And there's no shade....and it was an unusual hot summer day (maybe not so unusual in the future sadly), so it was pretty exhausting. No steep climb or anything...just the burning sun. The path to the lake gets really narrow sometimes and isn't well taken care of.
But this is only until you reach Llyn Dinas. From there the path along the southern shore is very nice, well taken care of and mostly flat.

It doesn't offer that amazing views over the valley, but provides some nice lake views, which is also nice.
