Great walk, we visited 3 of the dams in Elan Valley. We would definitely return hopefully on a clearer day. Incredible engineering that has stood the test of time.

Really lovely park and surrounded area. I went when all the dams were overflowing due to all the rain we have since the start of the year. Great gift shop and cafe. Need to visit and walk all 5 dams.
