Here for a few days mid August. The dams are impressive and worth a visit to them all as they are all different and the countryside is amazing, plenty of walks to do. Lots of people on bikes as well. Dog friendly.

We had an amazing time doing the falconry experience, Tim is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the birds which made the experience that much more special. All the birds were beautiful but meeting Matilda the snowy owl was my personal favourite. There are other animals on site witch we were happy to see and seeing the pigs party trick was a real treat. We will definitely be returning to do the other experiences on offer.

One of the six Victorian Elan Valley reservoirs, each with superb and wonderful engineering and views to die for. Well worth driving round and stopping off at the various car parks, or going for walks across the glorious countryside.

The whole of the Elan Valley is wonderful, and the different man-made reservoirs are wonders of Victorian engineering, and look stunning. Well worth visiting and learning about how and why these reservoirs were built to supply Birmingham with fresh water.

I couldn't disagree with the last review more!! ☹️ Bleak it maybe, but, in a sublime way! Walk up to the waterfalls, walk across the dam,look down from the dam, walk from the dam top to dam bottom, then look up, then sit!!!! Look at the amazing scenery! We where absolutely mesmerised by what we where seeing!! Fantastic, could have looked at that view all day! ♥️
