Cheers. If you do go back, the Elan Valley hotel is recommended, great meals and cheap clean rooms.

Nice to see water over the dam, especially at this time of year.
Don't discount the Red Kite B&B, the actual Elan Valley visitors centre is good for tea & cakes and some interesting displays.

My Parents used to live in Nant Glas :)
 
Very nice Les, might be an optical illusion due to perspective but it looks like it might be leaning down left a little?

I think that's because it's a curved structure... the verticals are upright

Agree about it being good.
 
Brilliant picture Les, I was up there a couple of year ago and didn't manage one decent picture of the dam, so its good to see some had more luck than I did,

I agree the verticals are straight and the dam is curved- thank you for your comments

Nice place to do business :D When the sun shines it's beautiful.

The playground in Rhayader has the river running through it, nera the campsite. Quite a pretty stretch of river, as it the part by the visitor centre
