    Destroyed during the famous Dambusters experiments in World War II that led to the creation of the ‘bouncing bomb’, the remains of the Nant-y-Gro dam are well worth the walk. There are also great views of the Caban Coch Reservoir.

      It is an interesting structure to stumble upon and some great history to go with it
