Coedydd Aber National Nature Reserve
Abergwyngregyn, Gwynedd
An area of scenic beauty, this steep sided wooded valley leading to a spectacular waterfall in the foothills of Y Carneddau, has long been a popular beauty spot. The site supports a variety of habitats and a diversity of species of woodland and of open farmland and scrub. There is a range of nesting birds, including raven and peregrine on the cliffs, tree pipit and redstart along the woodland edge, and pied flycatcher and wood warbler in the Oak woods. There are many historic and archaeological monuments, including round and long huts, cairns, a medieval hafod and an iron age hill fort testifying to the long history of human occupation.
The Countryside Council for Wales is committed to creating opportunities for everyone to enjoy the countryside. National Nature Reserves are no exception. On some reserves the Countryside Council for Wales has provided additional paths. On others, access on foot is unrestricted and visitors are welcome to wander freely. Where possible, the Countryside Council also provide facilities to add to visitors' enjoyment of reserves such as bird hides, information points, guided walks and displays, and facilities for the disabled. Signs at entrances welcome visitirs to each reserve and provide basic information.
