    Tips

    The Caban-Coch Reservoir is one of four reservoirs in the Elan Valley Reservoirs, which supply the city of Birmingham in particular with drinking water. This one is the second largest and its dam is quite impressive.

    The cycle path goes to the right of the lakeshore and there is a small rest area at the top. Here you can relax a bit and watch the large water surface or admire the dam. Swimming is unfortunately not allowed, and would be no fun anyway, as the shore is hardly accessible.

        If you are riding around the reservoirs this is always a good place to stop for a brake & just look at it.
