This
is a your chance to meander along the edges of the reservoirs of the
Elan Valley and along the banks of the rivers Wye and Severn. Shelley
lived in the area with his wife in 1812 and loved the landscape,
which was changed dramatically by the reservoir builders at the turn
of the last century. Explore pretty towns - Llangurig in the
foothills of the Plynlimon mountains and Rhayader itself whose Welsh
name
Rhaeadr Gwy
means 'waterfall on the Wye'.
You
can take a day to explore the country lanes east of Rhayader where
you’ll pass through the villages of St Harmon, Pant-Y-Dwr and
Bwlch Y Sarnau to discover the remains of The Abbey in the Long
Valley, with its 73 metre nave lying in a remote, wooded valley.
