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.
