It's a 73-mile pipeline which carries water from the Elan Valley (hello, Rhayader Round The Lakes!) to Birmingham. The water flows entirely by gravity and travels at around 2 mph, taking a day and a half to reach its destination. Every now and then, you might stumble on a remote valve house or similar building in the middle of the countryside thereabouts.
