About the event

When the seasons turn it's the best time to visit this nature reserve hidden on the outskirts for Llandrindod Wells. Join our Assistant Reserves Officer to explore Pentrosfa Mire and wonder at the species found on the reserve. 

The lake in this reserve was created by damming up the stream back in the 1950's for fishing.  Today, the lake is very small with much of the reserve being swamp, fen and wet woodland. In the winter, the mire is an important roost site for large numbers of snipe, jack snipe and pied wagtail.  Widgeon, teal and other water birds find the open water attractive and water rail love to hide in the tall vegetation around the edge of the water.

Wellies and weather appropriate clothing is essential.
