Elan Valley dams: Craig Goch

Craig Goch, the highest upstream of the series of the Elan Valley dams it is at 1040 feet above sea level.

Work on excavating the foundations for a secure base for the structure started in July 1897, with the arrival of the railway line at the site some three years after the start of work on the lowest dam at Caban Coch.

Craig Goch is seen by many as the most attractive of the dams, with an elegantly curved retaining wall and a series of arches carrying a narrow roadway across the top of the dam. It has a green domed roofed valve tower typical of the 'Birmingham Baroque' style of much of the waterworks scheme. 105 54
