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.

I went here to do a day's hike. I dropped a star bacause the cafe owned by Welsh Water stops serving food 1 hour before closing time. The walking routes are excellent. Popular with dog walkers too. Hardly any litter. ...

Spectacular scenery of the Elan Valley better than expected. Inside the visitor's centre there is a gift shop, toilets and a café so it is possible to relax and unwind, whilst admiring the view.

Good friendly staff, excellent customer service. Fairly priced food and drinks! The food was delicious and the drinks were tasty. Would highly recommend a walk around Elan Valley too.
