Llandegfedd Reservoir Highly Commended for MacEwan Award
The £2.5m investment, completed last year, involved the construction of a 500m2 Visitor Centre and 300m2 Watersports Centre at the tourist hotspot that attracts over 150,000 visitors each year. The journal described the project as a “rural beauty and public delight” and commented that:
“Both buildings have provided a considerable social catalyst for public engagement with the reservoir both on and off the water. The project fostered a change of company policy to allow public access round the entire reservoir. A site of considerable natural and man-made beauty has become a tangibly welcoming and healthful place for the people of South Wales. The MacEwens, for whom this award is named, would have approved.”
