How to Find The Elan Valley

We are situated in the county of Powys in mid Wales and can be accessed easily from the town of Rhayader which is on the intersection of the main A470 (North/South) and the A44 which comes from the East.

From Rhayader follow the B4518 southwest out of the town. (The left turn for the Visitor Centre is signposted after three miles).

If you go on up past the Visitor Centre there is 72 square miles of beautiful upland to enjoy. We look forward to sharing this beauty with you through our facebook page!
