The Elan Valley is one of Wales' most treasured landmarks, made up of 70 square miles of dams, reservoirs, and picturesque landscapes. Known for its spectacular dams, Elan Valley has attracted visitors from all over the UK for its wildlife, geology, history, and spectacular scenery.
Originally built over 100 years ago to supply clean water to Birmingham, the six dams of the Elan Valley, in Powys, still stand tall and offers a nature experience like no other. There’s plenty for the whole family to explore, from walking or cycling to stargazing and fishing.
