What's left of St Bathans on the left and the Blue Lakes over to the right. St Bathans once boasted 2000 miners greedy for gold and also greedy for drink as there were 13 hotels here. The Blue Lake was created by the miners digging 69 metres down for gold and the resulting hole eventually filled with water. The blue colour is created by mineral deposits. Is that enough info or what? Actually, no not quite.......there is only one hotel there now.
