How to get here
The nearest station is Llandrindod Wells (13 miles or 21 km away).
Rhayader (3 miles or 5 km away). Postbus/taxi to Elan Village via B4518 or walk/cycle via rural, metalled walking/cycling trail.
Sustrans route 6 runs adjacent to the reserve.
The main access point is at the eastern end of Elan Village where the village road crosses a cattle grid and enters woodland. Once across the cattle grid you are in the reserve. Elan village is just off the B4518 approximately three miles (5 km) south-west of the town of Rhayader, which straddles the A470 and A44, in central Wales. There are no car parking facilities on the reserve, however parking is available at the Elan Valley Visitor Centre, for a small charge and is only a 5 to 10 minute walk away through the quiet road of Elan Village.
