Easy parking on an initially rainy day, then visited the Visitor Centre which had an excellent variety of resources and gifts for sale. Walked up the valley on the designated path around the reservoire. The views and scenery are beautiful and what a brilliant way to spend four hours walking.

This is a fabulous place for views. We travelled through the Dams. What an experience! We had previously driven through, but not seen it all. It was October, so a quieter time and easy to drive around. There's a different view round every corner. We visited the tourist centre, which is such a good place, with a great cafe, well stocked shop and an informative film about the dams. Also lots of parking available, a children's play area and walks. Definitely would recommend a visit

A rainy stormy day in the gorgeous autumnal colours1 We drove around the dams and there are little stop off points, some passing places. We only did two of the dams and will take dad back for a look at the third when we are back in the area. Beautiful views, amazing engineering and good for the soul!

Well worth the walk up from Rhayader. Craig Goch is particularly impressive with the water cascading over the top. Caban Coch was dry when I visited, but the bright green moss on the face of the dam makes an interesting photo none the less.

The views were amazing. The engineering feats unbelievable when you consider these were built 120 - 80 years ago. Although freezing cold and almost a gale we had an amazing day. The car parking is cheap, the gift shop is reasonably priced and everyone so helpful and friendly. Will be returning on a warmer day.

This has got to be one of the most truly mesmerizing scenic places I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. We stayed on a local camp site for the half term. After the first day where it just poured down we decided to go for a walk, well we walked, walked and walked some more. I mean there is just no end to the beauty every corner had some thing new. A hikers paradise.

Detoured on the way back from Aberystwyth and was certainly not disappointed. The Visitors Centre with shop and cafe is certainly worth a visit. The car parking charge of £3 per day valid in all of the Elan Valley car parks is excellent value for money. We visited (by car) all the 6 dams which are several miles apart from each other. Some roads are a bit narrow but passable with care. All in peaceful settings with beautiful landscape settings.

Stunning scenery. Enjoyable if driving through but cycling, walking even better. The dams are just incredible. Lovely walk with the dogs. Slightly let down by the visitors centre which was more of a pricey shop than anything informative. Lots of signs up but plenty of idiots driving too fast and sheep on the roads.

An absolutely beautiful part of the world, a must see for everyone! We started at the visitors centre and got a map, then walked to the first dam Caban Coch. The weather wasn’t fab so we decided to drive the rest which was one of the prettiest drives I have ever done. We visited every dam, including the unfinished Dol Y Mynach which is the only one not viewable from the road so it took us a minute to find it but definitely was well worth the hunt. It’s a shame that Penbont house is closed as it would’ve been a good ‘halfway’ stop but we had prepared a picnic so we were content to carry on.

We drove from Garth here today with the dog. First we visited the Visitors Centre were we picked up a map for the drive to the dams. We managed to see two of the dams which was interesting and one small church near one of them. The direction on the map were not very clear so another trip here another time is needed. Although going back to the visitors centre gave us directions for another time.
