Descripción
Three miles of riverside walks available, passing the historic Wye bridge, Monmouth castle, and Monnow bridge, the only fortified bridge in Britain. Vencejo Común breed in the roof, listen for their screaming calls as they fly overhead. Lavandera Cascadeña, Garza Real, Garceta Común, Cormorán Grande, Serreta Grande and Escribano Palustre are common. Avión Zapador nest in masonry crevices on the Monnow and in the disused viaduct. Look out for Martín Pescador Común flying low, fast and straight over the river. In winter, a flock of up to 200 Gaviota Cana can be seen on riverside meadows and school playingfields. Mosquitero Bilistado Gaviota de Delaware and Colirrojo Tizón have turned up recently at the Wye/Monnow confluence.
Fish such as chub, trout and sewin may be easily seen when river levels are low. Riverbank flora includes purple loosestrjfe, himalayan balsam, comfrey and flowering rush. The derelict old railway station is an unofficial nature reserve, harbouring Pito Real, dormice, slow worms, grasshoppers and butterflies.
A one hour walk or short drive away is the Kymin viewpoint and monument (marked on the map, fee payable at car park). Trepador Azul, Carbonero Palustre, Reyezuelo Sencillo frequent the area and possibilty of Milano Real overhead.
