Cors Y Llyn National Nature Reserve

Cors y Llyn National Nature Reserve, located 2.5 kilometres south of Newbridge on Wye in mid-Wales, features a diverse landscape of bogs, open water, and rich wildflower meadows. The reserve is framed by a band of trees and surrounded by pasture, making it a vital habitat for various species. As a National Nature Reserve, it plays an essential role in conserving the unique ecosystems found in this area.
