A few weeks ago, on the last few warm days of the year we took a short “weekend trip away” to a place called the Elan Valley. Something we wanted to do ever since we came to the UK.
It actually doubled up as a location/scouting trip, potentially for some music videos in the future (nothing concrete yet!). We always like to keep our eyes open for stunning backdrops while using the time to explore and unwind at the same time 🙂 And the scenery there was breathtaking! We thought you might enjoy it, too.
The Elan river valley consists of a series of reservoirs whose dam scheme was developed in the 19th century following rapid growth of the population of Birmingham in England due to the Industrial Revolution. Surprisingly, each reservoir and dam has its own kind of landscape and aesthetics that one can explore by car, by bike or by foot. We were so lucky with the weather … 22C (72F) and lots of mild sunshine at the end of September. With another potential lockdown looming ahead it was a no-brainer and a spontaneous decision to drop everything and spend a few days in the mountains.
Have a great day,
Mona & Lisa
