This project is inspired by the late Chris Jones, a much-missed member of the Powys Ramblers. He loved walking in this wonderful landscape and wanted others to share the experience.

After the launch of the leaflets, there will be an opportunity to join in a walk. Choose from a short walk of around two miles from the visitor centre, through Elan Village and on through woodland to Caban Coch dam or a long walk of about five miles beyond Caban Coch with more challenging terrain.

The hill-walking packs will be on display and available to buy.

Free

Children will delight at meeting the great man himself who will warmly welcome them to his grotto to chat and hear their Christmas wish.

They’ll cherish their gift and photo and will be excited to join his team of merry elves to make festive decorations and create reindeer food. And they’ll love tucking into hot chocolate and gingerbread from our cafe.

Then it’s off outside to find Elfie, Santa’s naughty helper who has got lost in Cnwch Woods. Follow the trail and seek them out!
