Please click here for more information. Ynyslas National Nature Reserve , Ynyslas, is part of the Dyfi National Nature Reserve and is one of Wales' premier reserves. Its vast sand dunes and beach just south of the Dyfi estuary are enjoyed by a quarter of a million people every year. A 'Sense of Arrival' initiative at the Ynyslas Visitor Centre in Borth near Aberystwyth involves local communities in emphasising the beauty and importance of the environment by interpretation through art. Poetry written by local school children, a mosaic and sculpted timber on the theme of the legend of the lost land of Cantre'r Gwaelod form part of an exhibition at the centre. Ynyslas can be reached from Aberystwyth by following the A 487 past Bow Street before turning left onto the B 4353 at Tre Taliesyn. 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.       Reset Map Position About our location: Follow the A487 from Machynlleth to Aberystwyth turn right at Tre'r ddol on to the B4353 signposted Borth & Ynyslas.
