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.
