The Most Underrated Part of Wales | Mid-Wales Travel Guide

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.
