The slopes around the Elan Valley reservoirs are covered by large swathes of coniferous woodlands and a significant area of broadleaved woods, predominantly sessile oak. The Elan Valley Trust has a visitor centre, B&B and tearoom. More details on the trust website. Foxes, badgers, bats and otters are amongst the mammals living here. Redstarts, Pied Flycachers and Wood Warblers are just a small sample of the birdlife and Red Kites can easily be spotted.
