Caban Coch Dam

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Caban Coch Dam is simply magnificent and impressive! 🌊 The view of the dam is breathtaking, showcasing the sheer scale and beauty of this engineering marvel. We started our hike from the base and enjoyed a wonderful 4-hour trek through stunning scenery. 🥾 The surroundings are picturesque, offering lush landscapes and serene spots perfect for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts. 📸 A must-visit destination for anyone looking to experience the beauty of the great outdoors!

Caban Coch Dam is one of a sequence of dams on the Elan River and is absolutely stunning, both in structure and surrounding natural beauty. The perfect location for long walks with the dogs, family etc. it does get quite busy at peak times but if you hit the trails you can find some real tranquility. Free parking at the top. Only gripe is lack of bins!

Cool place to visit, nice walks around and plenty to see. Free large parking, nice views, plenty of photo opportunities and good for nature watching.

Great place to walk around. Shame tours are held only at a certain time of the year .

The pictures speak for themselves, free capark, plenty of trails to walk and if visited mid week you can practically have the place to yourself.

The most AMAZING dam I personally have ever seen. Truly a force, very windy at times and prepare to get a bit wet. Great parking in the visitors center to view it from the bottom or also at the top. Amazing views.

First dam on the trip Elan valley reservoir and old bridge on left side before car park. Large car park(cost 3£all day,First 60miin free) Many footpath around dam. Amazing place. Recommended 100%.

Incredibly beautiful area. Nature is impressive. The walk was great. Unfortunately, we did not get there when the dam is fully operational. But this is a reason to go there again.

Worth exploring the whole area extremely pretty, went there for the meteor shower but unfortunately was a little bit cloudy.

If you can go on a clear light on a new moon - the sky view unbelievably spectacular.

You can get up close and feel the power of the Dam. Lovely environment, with an educational area, shop and restaurant.

Amazing views, in all weathers. Superb man-made structure, used to tame the forces of nature. Lovely walks/cycle tracks, surrounded by rugged terrain and hillsides for the more adventurous. Free parking and a visitors centre, popular destination for those seeking fresh air and some exercise. Although can be enjoyed by the less able too.

Great place to visit if you are in Wales.

What a great time to go, the noise and power of the water was amazing.

Absolutely stunning place to visit

The roar of the water going over the dam, the tranquility of the reservoir behind capture the imagination. An amazing afternoon walking along the paths. Thoroughly recommend a visit

What a gorgeous place . I had a sunny day, walked from Caban Coch to Pen y Grag dam. 6.5km there and 6.5km back. Straight forward walk , flat ground. Well worth a day out. Parking 3 pounds for the day , u can drive to the dams as well if you dont want to walk

Fabulous place to visit any time of the year but even more spectacular when water is flowing over the dam. Lovely area that is well worth exploring with fantastic views of the local mountains and wildlife.

Beautiful setting. Visited in October after some heavy rain.

A really stunning place to visit during the autumn when the leaves have varying shades of green and gold. The cascading water over the dam and getting close and personal creates a sight to behold looking like a waterfall. There is a cafe nearby to enjoy the view. It has a capacity of 8 billion gallons.

Beautiful place that is really quiet. It is perfect for a roadtrip stop off and it is a picturesque place. There is a car park that you can stop for a picnic or a cup of tea and it’s quite quiet, we rarely even saw a car come past! It is a good place to add onto your roadtrip map as it is stunning and quiet!
