Running

Beautiful, breath-taking scenery:

We have been welcoming running groups to this stunning part of Wales for more than 30 years.  Set on the edge of the Cambrian Mountains the 73 square miles of the Elan Estate is a little known area of stunning beauty and outstanding scenery, one of the few remaining unspoilt areas of Britain.
 

THE LODGE AND ON-SITE FACILITIES:

Elan Valley Lodge with our 5* en-suite activity accommodation grading we can offer your club a great value break. The Lodge is a modernised Victorian building that has been skillfully adapted to offer excellent en-suite accommodation for 36 people.  We provide fantastic food, and a relaxing, friendly atmosphere (with a great drying room) to make your stay thoroughly enjoyable.
 

CONSERVATION AND WIlDLIFE:

With conservation having been a priority since the construction of the spectacular Elan Valley dams over 100 years ago, it has become a haven for a wide variety of wildlife.  Most of the estate is protected by EC and UK conservation directives and much of it is designated as sites of special scientific interest. This creates an unrivalled paradise for running and walking, a haven for wildlife in a beautiful setting away from the crowds.
