What's here? at Valley Wetlands

PARTIAL RESERVE CLOSURE

For Health & Safety reasons during works to replace MoD runway landing lights on the Valley Wetlands Reserve, the visitor trail and footpath from the main Llyn Penrhyn car park will be CLOSED on week days from 7 November until 7 January and there will be no access from the car park.

The path should usually remain open on weekends and bank holidays but this will depend on work schedules.

The reserve remains accessible along the footpath from Llanfairyneubwll to the East and Ffordd Cerrig Mawr to the North (see map).

We apologise for the inconvenience.
