Join our Rangers at one of our big Dam Open Hours – an exclusive chance to venture into Pen y Garreg Dam and up to the central tower.

Walk through the dam at your own pace, before emerging onto the central platform where you’ll enjoy a bird’s-eye view of the dam wall – and learn about the feat of engineering that made Elan.

Booking ahead recommended, either online or from the Visitor Centre shop. Please bring the receipt from the shop if you buy on the day. We can take walk-ins at the dam but you must have the correct change for your party.

£5.00 per adult, £1 per Under-18 (half the proceeds go to WaterAid)
