点评:What a glorious day out.
We arrived at 9:45am to be fairly empty car park but by 10:45am it was getting full. There are two car parks and disabled parking by the visitor centre.
It’s £3 for all day parking at the moment which is a bargain and you purchase a ticket to display in your car from the visitor centre.
The visitor centre has a 12 minute informative video about the history of Elan and walks which was good and a nice shop and cafe.
Collect a free map from the visitor centre and ask their advice about walks. There are all types of walks for all abilities and even wheelchair users and pushchair users can enjoy a day out.
Bike hire is available on site but this was really expensive at £40 each so we didn’t bother. I’d suggest taking your own as it looked amazing for bikes.
We did 24,000 steps and did two dams and surrounding areas and got back to the car at 3pm. We all enjoyed it and stopped and had a picnic and a wonderful ice cream at dam 2.
The road to Elan Valley visitor centre was fine with plenty of room but we didn’t drive by the lake as it looked narrow at times.
Great day out and highly recommended.
翻译:真是美好的一天啊。
我们上午9点45分到达时,停车场还相当空旷,但到了10点45分就逐渐挤满了车。这里有两个停车场,游客中心附近还有残疾人专用停车位。
目前全天停车的费用仅为3英镑,相当划算。您可以在游客中心购买停车票并放在车内以供查验。
游客中心播放了一段时长12分钟的视频,详细介绍了埃兰地区的历史以及可游览的步道,内容很不错;这里还有一家不错的商店和咖啡馆。从游客中心免费领取地图,并请教他们关于徒步路线的建议。这里有适合各种体能水平的徒步路线,甚至连使用轮椅或婴儿车的人也能尽情享受一天的户外活动。
景区内提供自行车租赁服务,但每辆车要40英镑,价格实在太贵,所以我们没租。我建议自带自行车,因为那里的骑行环境看起来棒极了。
我们一共走了24,000步,游览了两座水坝及其周边地区,下午3点才回到车旁。我们都玩得很开心,还在第二号水坝处停下来野餐,享用了美味的冰淇淋。
前往埃兰谷游客中心的路况不错,路面也很宽敞;不过我们没有沿着湖边行驶,因为有些路段看起来比较狭窄。
这是一个很棒的出游日,强烈推荐!
