Beschreibung
Kenfig National Nature Reserve is a huge coastal dune system between Porthcawl and Port Talbot, South Wales. The nature reserve has a 3 mile storm beach, rolling dunes and a mosaic of wetlands including Kenfig Pool which is the largest natural lake in South Wales. The reserve hosts a number of species and some very rare and endangered plant life.
Kenfig is noted for a wide variety of bird visitors because of the range of environments found in the reserve. In the winter birds such as Wiesenpieper, Schwarzkehlchen and Merlin can be found as well as Kornweihe and Sumpfohreule. In the summer Dorngrasmücke, Feldlerche, Wiesenpieper and Fitis are very numerous in the sand dune areas. The area is lovely for walks, bird watching and dog walking. Fantastic for wild orchids, flowers, butterflies dragonflies, bumblebees and birds.
After being responsible for reserve for the past 20 years, Bridgend council's lease ended on Tuesday 31 December 2019. Natural Resources Wales (NRW) is currently discussing a long-term lease. Until such time that a new lease arrangement has been made, the visitor centre, together with the facilities, is closed.
