Elan Valley Trail
'The purpose of the Trail is to improve access to the Elan Valley and its countryside, particularly for the less-able. The trail between Craig Gooch and Pen y Garreg is classed as a bridleway. The rest of the route however is a permissive route agreed by the landowners, namely Dwr Cymru Welsh Water, Radnorshire Wildlife Trust and Powys County Council and does not follow a right of way.' However, the Leaping Stiles Website where this Trail was described could no longer be referenced. So I have referenced an alternative Trail.
'The Elan Valley (Welsh: Cwm Elan) is a river valley situated to the west of Rhayader, in Powys, Wales, sometimes known as the "Welsh Lake District". It covers 70 square miles (180 km2) of lake and countryside. The valley contains the Elan Valley Reservoirs and Elan Village, designed by architect Herbert Tudor Buckland as part of the same scheme. Elan Village is the only purpose-built Arts and Crafts "Model Village" in Wales. It is also famous for its picturesque scenery. Over 80% of the valley is designated as Sites of Special Scientific Interest.' {Wikipedia 25 January 2014]
