Craig Goch Reservoir

The Craig Goch Reservoir is located in the Elan Valley in the center of Wales is one of the best lakes to visit in Wales. It is one of numerous lakes that were created as a result of the damming of the Elan and Claerwen Rivers. Given that it is the highest of all the lakes, the Craig Goch Reservoir has views of the Cambrian Mountains and probably the best views overall.

The Elan Valley Trail, which passes the four lakes of Craig Goch Reservoir, Caban Coch, Pen-y-Garreg, and Garreg Ddu, is one of the best ways to see the area and the lakes. You can schedule a half-day or full-day hike to see Craig Goch and the other lakes because the entire trail is nine miles long.

You can begin and end your visit at the Elan Valley Visitor Center, where you can also get some insider information on the region's history, start and end your walk, and get a bite to eat.
