Overview

Note: This walk is part of a weekend away in the Elan Valley; see the group's holiday pages for more information (but you can attend the walk without attending the weekend away).

This walk starts at the Elan Valley visitors' centre and circles the Caban-Coch, Garreg Ddu and Pen y Garreg reservoirs. Whilst it is a borderline moderate/strenuous walk, it provides some stunning views for the effort.

Note that some of this walk can be quite boggy, so please wear appropriate footwear.
