NATURE RESERVE NOTICE 

Our #DolyddHafren Nature Reserve will be closed to the public for the next couple of weeks (until approx Mon 6th Oct).

A contractor will be carrying out some essential maintenance, and we need to keep the reserve closed during this time for visitor safety.

Apologies for the short notice and thank you in advance for your patience while we make improvements to #DolyddHafren for wildlife & people 

In the meantime, why not plan a visit to one of our other nature reserves www.montwt.co.uk/nature-reserves
