Coed Y Rhygen National Nature Reserve

Coed y Rhygen National Nature Reserve, located on the western shore of Llyn Trawsfynydd in Gwynedd, North Wales, is a 2.78-hectare example of Atlantic Rainforest. This wet habitat is rich in biodiversity, featuring a variety of mosses and liverworts that adorn both the ground and trees. The reserve is privately owned and is not open to the public, making it a unique and tranquil environment. Wildlife enthusiasts may find interest in the diverse flora and fauna, particularly in March when species like Marsh Bryum and Neat Feather-moss peak in activity. Notable sightings include the Sparrowhawk in August and the Teal in February. For those keen on observing specific species, early morning visits around midnight in March could yield the best results, while September is also a good time for certain beetles.
