David and I drove to Elan Valley on a cold, crisp day in November. Upon our arrival, we could see a dusting of snow on the mountains, which made it look all the more beautiful. We enjoyed a leisurely drive around the reservoirs, stopping off occasionally to stretch our legs, and had some lunch at the Visitor Centre. I love it here because it feels so isolated, but it's close enough for a day trip (it's just a couple of hours from Cardiff and Birmingham). David said that the area reminded him of Scotland and Canada, and I can see why; it's a wonderfully remote and rugged landscape. Click here for directions to Elan Valley.

I've not been here yet but these lovely pictures make me want to go, the dam looks really impressive! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jamie! I love Elan Valley...definitely one to add to the list :)
DeleteI've never been to Elan Valley but it does look lovely. I always think it's near Lake Vyrnwy but it's nowhere near! Is this one of the dams that Richard Hammond drove that Land Rover up the side?
ReplyDeleteHi Becster! Yes, Richard Hammond from Top Gear drove up the side of one of these dams in a Land Rover. Scary stuff! Thank you for your comment :)
