Elan Valley with guided tour

Elan is a beautiful unspoilt area amid the Cambrian mountains and home to a series of man-made lakes and reservoirs built by the Birmingham Water Board in the 19th century. We are joined onboard the coach by one of the Elan Valley Rangers for a guided tour of the valley, marvelling at the engineering enterprise of the Victorians as well as the stunning wildlife and landscape of mid-Wales
