Beschrijving
Whiteford Burrows and Sands are inaccessible to motor vehicles, hence quiet and undisturbed. 250 species of plants grow in the dunes. To the east, the marshes and mudflats are a winter home to 600 Rotgans, 5,000 Bonte Strandloper, 13,000 Scholekster, 2,500 Goudplevier and numerous Wulp, Kanoet and godwits. Bear in mind that wading birds may be far out in the stuary at low tide. High tide is best (see a link to the tide table below). Possible other sightings can include sea ducks, Kleine Zilverreiger, Eider, Pijlstaart and Slobeend. Cwm Ivy woods and marshes host breeding warblers, Rietgors, Buizerd and Bosuil.
To the west of Cwm Ivy there are bone caves once inhabited by neolithic man, and at extreme low tides the derelict lighthouse may be visited. Always check tide times before walking out on the intertidal areas.
