Llanbedrgoch · LL78 8JZ
Cors Goch offers an inland change from Anglesey’s coastal birding, with fen and wetland below patches of heath and grassland. North Wales Wildlife Trust names Grasshopper Warbler, Sedge Warbler and Reed Bunting as part of the spring soundscape. A network of paths and a boardwalk provide public routes through this varied reserve. The contrasting ground reflects the mix of sandstone and limestone beneath it, with orchids and other wetland plants adding interest to a visit. Allow time for the narrow, uneven approaches rather than expecting a surfaced circuit.
