 The Visitor Centre is now open!

Our opening times are seven days a week from 10am until 5.30pm until the end of October, and then 10am until 4pm from 1st November until the end of February.

We are now open every day apart from Christmas Day!

Please note that coaches need to follow a clockwise route around the valley due to the narrow nature of the road!   

Coaches are very welcome to use the Visitor Centre cafe, but it is important that you inform us if you are planning a visit so that delays can be kept to a minimum.

We have seen a large increase in coach numbers in recent years and booking ahead is always advisable to ensure menu availability and faster service.

Please telephone the cafe directly on (01597) 810899, giving as much advance notice as possible.

We have been awarded the 'Learning Outside the Classroom' Quality Badge, an award which is given to providers of high quality teaching and learning experiences in a safe outdoor environment.

We were also the first site to be listed in Wales.

If your school has never visited the Elan Valley before, you may be eligible to claim towards the transport costs associated with your visit!

Please ask the Environmental Education Ranger for more information.

Thanks to the generosity of our visitors we raised over £1700 for the charity WaterAid during 2011, through our Dam Open Days, collection boxes and other events.
