Elan Valley

The Elan Valley was once home to 100 people, 18 farms, a school and a church. This website tells the story of how the locals were moved and the buildings demolished in order to flood the land, creating a series of dams to provide clean water for the people of Birmingham. The site also tells today's visitors what the Elan Valley can offer, saying that the 70 square miles of moorland, bog, woodland, river and reservoir are of national importance for their diversity of lower plants and that the estate is the most important area for land birds in Wales. There's an up-to-date list too of events and walks around the estate.
