Popular places to visit

Elan Valley is one of my favourite places in Wales. It's really peaceful, and there's normally hardly anyone there, especially if you head up some footpaths. Ideal for stargazing too, becasue theres next to no light pollution. A rarity in the UK. #GreatOutdoors

Elan Valley
Our first visit to the Elan Valley dams and we could not have picked a better day. If you are in Wales and love great views, wonderful driving roads and the great outdoors I highly recommend visiting and walking around the area. It will take at least a day for a relaxed visit, walks and photographs or 3 hours with a few stops and a good drive through the valleys. The drive north to Devils bridge was excellent. #wales #elanvalley #elandams #landscapes #landscapephotography

Claerwen reservoir, at sunset. The reservoir is located in the Elan Valley, mid Wales. The sky is orange and the water is very calm and flat

Former station at Erwood, 1994. View NW, towards Builth Wells and Moat Lane: ex-Cambrian Railway Moat Lane - Brecon (Mid-Wales) line, closed completely 31/12/62. This is an unusual transformation of a former station into a café, on the main road down the Wye Valley.
