This series offers you the opportunity to see and explore the beautiful mountain wilderness area of Mid Wales known as the Elan Valley. You can also add our Dam It series to your journey and find other caches along these routes.
The Elan Estate comprises the catchments of the rivers Elan and Claerwen...more than 70 square miles of rugged Welsh countryside.
Here at our Elan Mt Rd Series No 5 you are on the county border crossing of Ceredigion and Powys. Under the footbridge the River Ystwyth appears rushing down from its source on the hills to the north near the wind farm, then it cuts a gorge of many waterfalls alongside the road which are at their best after heavy rain!
On it's way to Blaenycwm it is joined by the Afon Diliw where the force of the two rivers have cut a narrow gorge through the rock revealing the upturned rock strata.
We would like to give grateful thanks to the Elan Valley Trust and Dwr Cymru Welsh Water for their kind permission to allow us to place this series of caches on their land.
Please see www.elanvalley.org.uk for further information about the Elan Valley and events held during the year.
