Elan Valley Summer Dam Open Days at Elan Valley & Visitor Centre''

Don’t miss an exclusive chance to venture into one of the Elan Valley’s iconic dams.

Our Dam Open Days are always popular and this is your chance to head inside Pen y Garreg Dam and up the central tower where you will enjoy a spectacular view across the valley and the Cambrian Mountains.

These short self-guided tours are a perfect addition to your day’s itinerary at Elan Valley. Walk through the dam at your own pace, before emerging onto the central platform where you’ll enjoy a bird’s-eye view of the dam wall – and learn about the feat of engineering that made Elan.

Booking ahead recommended, either online or from the Visitor Centre shop. We can take walk-ins at the dam but you must have the correct change for your party. Please note Pen y Garreg Dam is a short drive or bike ride from the main Elan Valley Visitor Centre.
