Elan Valley Walk
|
The Elan Valley is famous as the source of Birmingham's water. The series of dams on the Elan river was built in the late nineteeth century, and, when full, the reservoirs are attractive features in an already impressive landscape. Our walk is mostly easy going on paths and tracks alongside the reservoirs and through oak woodland, with stretches of open heather moorland.
Refreshments Café at Visitor Centre, at start/finish of walk.
