The Spectacular Elan Valley
70 square miles of dams, reservoirs and rugged Welsh landscapes.
There’s plenty to see and do in the Elan Valley. By day, explore this special landscape by bike, car or on foot. When the sun sets and the night falls, look up and marvel at the star-studded skies.
Come and explore this magical place, nestled in the heart of the Cambrian Mountains of Mid Wales.

Curlew Monitoring Volunteer Project
Do you love the outdoors and conservation? We’re looking for volunteers who would like to help us monitor the beautiful curlew. It is thought that numbers are declining at a rate of around 6% per year which means they could potentially become extinct by 2030.
