"In 2015 HLF approved £1.8m (to the Trust) towards a project including heritage conservation, habitat restoration, and public access and engagement. With the Trust’s £1.5m the total project cost was £3.3m. The TAIS project (a separate project) focuses on a number of added value improvements to the destination, particularly regarding access and recreational elements, some of which were not eligible under the HLF proposal. The project focusses on:
Project 1: - Dol y Mynach Dam: access, interpretation, signage, gates and pathways;
- Dam Busters site at Nant y Gro: interpretation, signage;
- World War 2 Pill Boxes: access, interpretation;
- Cwm Elan Mine: access, signage & interpretation;
- Elan Dark Skies: car parking, interpretation & viewing platform;
Project 2: - Develop 3 family friendly hubs at Nantgwyllt, Claerwen & Penbont.
Project 3: - Develop a new Elan Woodland Cycle Trail (Blue Trail).
Project 4: - Destination signage & Dark Sky information boards."
