Set against a spectacular backdrop of Victorian stone dams, the Elan Valley Visitor Centre is the perfect starting point for your visit to the area.

The Visitor Centre is currently closed for the winter - it re-opens on Friday 20th March 2009. It is still possible to organise educational visits for schools during the winter months, see our Education page for further information.

During the season the Centre is open seven days a week between 10:00am and 5:30pm.
