Here are a few pics taken last February on a trip to Elan Valley. These dams were built at the turn of the 20th century to supply water to the ever growing Birmingham.
Another dam, the Clearwen, was built in 1952. |

Lovely pictures, especially the one showing the curves on the buttresses. Like a perfected version of a big cliff in Snowdonia 100mls north. |
