Elan Valley Waterfall Trail — Attraction in Great Britain

Absolutely stunning! It's my new favourite place in Wales & I can not wait to go back. We spent almost 6 hours here on a relatively dry May bank holiday.

Whilst we went to see the dams we underestimated how much walking was involved between each one. The map I picked up in the visitor centre didn't help at all. We managed to see two, with the first one just behind the visitors centre and the second next to the Penbont House Tearooms and B&B.

Thankfully just following the very accessible path made it easier to navigate our way as we didn't really know where we were going.

We know you can drive and park between each one but we wanted to soak up the scenery because it is gorgeous. Fresh air, the sound of water and wildlife was just what was needed for a glorious day - if, like me, you like that sort of thing :)

If you're not interested in walking there are car parks at each point and one car parking pass covers all. There aren't many points where there are facilities like toilets though.

The visitor centre does have them but check opening times.

If you do enjoy a walk in the outdoors then this will not disappoint and I highly...

The name of this site is a bit misleading. It's not really a trail, but merely a small waterfall adjacent to the road that runs along the banks of the reservoir. If you're making the journey out, especially to see an amazing collection of waterfalls or a hiking trail following the course of the stream, as we did, then you will be sadly disappointed. Yes, the scenery in the area is pretty, and there are plenty of paths for most abilities, but I don't think you could describe this place as a...

Loved it. Lots of different dams to see with wonderful views. Take your time traveling around, get a map from the visitor centre then walk up to the first dam, then on to the second. After that take your car around the others and stop if at the different places. Drive nice and easy and enjoy the amazing scenery.

Must go...
