Join us on an exploration of the most underrated part of Wales, none other than Mid-Wales. Packed full of beautiful scenery, unique locations, and more! Enjoy
Firstly, the Elan Valley. We'll visit the impressive Caban-Coch dam and the lesser known exploded dam, Nant-y-Gro, that was bombed during WWII, we also marvel at the stunning Claerwen Dam. Then, we'll head to one of the oldest towns of wales, Rhayader for lunch and a wander around the shops.
In the afternoon, we'll embark on a sunset hike up an unnamed hill (that my granddad has creatively named 'THE BONK' years ago). From the summit, we'll enjoy breath-taking views of the surrounding countryside. It's the perfect way to end a perfect day.
I filmed this video in August, so we were blessed with beautiful sun throughout! This video is for anyone who loves beautiful scenery, outdoor activities, and hidden gems. If you're looking for a new place to explore in Wales, I highly recommend the Elan Valley.

As a tour guide "Exploring Mid Wales ", I'm delighted that you've come here. So many people pass straight through to the coast, Snowdonia or the Beacons. Great to see you highlighting some of our many hidden gems.

I appreciate seeing all the videos on this channel on Wales, as it is my home country It’s a joy to see other people coming over to visit.

Love the hill scenes! The bonk! Great stuff

@AlexTravels1 8 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed it! The nicknames that my granddad comes up with for hills are always creative that's for sure! Thanks for watching

Elan Valley is one of our favourites, we visit when we stay at the in-laws. I also cycle from Llandrindod Wells around the lakes. Stunning!

@AlexTravels1 9 месяцев назад

Sounds great! I lost count how many times I visited Elan Valley and Llandrindod wells when I was younger, still can't get enough of it!

Fantastic Alex - I enjoyed that. The Elan and the Claerwen are favorites of mine. I understand how you feel about the latter. Mind you the Elan is a great little river - see 'Wild Elan Way' on my channel if you want to know what the source is like. So, good to see you on Llandegley Rocks. That's what the Bonk is called. I've just been up there too. I was remembering my dear twin brother - so yeah a specil hill for you and for me. Many thanks - a great trip. Mark

@AlexTravels1 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching, Mark! I never knew the real name of Llandegley Rocks but I've honestly lost count of how many times I climbed it (must be at least 30 times). It's a beautiful spot. I've checked out your video of the Wild Elan Way, great to get a closer look at some unique spots that I've always driven past but never seen properly!

@WyeExplorer 8 месяцев назад

@@AlexTravels1 A pleasure Alex. Awesome mate - sounds like iLlandegley Rocks is firmly planted in your heart too. Yeah, I see your comment on the Elan - many thanks. Have a great week ahead.

Beautiful video. I would suggest you visit Hafod Estate and Devil's Bridge, too.

@AlexTravels1 4 месяца назад

Thank you! We have actually visited Devil's Bridge on that same trip. It's in another video on the channel! We'll have to put Hafod Estate on our list for when we visit next! 😄

@WelshRaptor367 10 месяцев назад

That dam looks like the one in star wars andor

@AlexTravels1 9 месяцев назад

Yes, looks very similar, but I think they filmed up in Scotland for that one!

@WelshRaptor367 9 месяцев назад

@AlexTravels1 ah yes I searched it turns out it is in Scotland. Although I noticed you visited a hut on the Pembrokeshire coast. You'll know what I'm talking about. It was used for some scenes in his dark materials.
