Description
Ynys-hir is on the south bank of the River Dyfi estuary (pronounced "duvvey"). It's based on two or three steep east-west wooded ridges separated by reedbeds. The Dyfi is tidal, with mudflats and wet pasture. With the mountains of southern Snowdonia to the north and the Cambrian mountains to the south, the Ynys-hir reserve is stunning whichever way you look. Summer brings wading birds, such as Northern Lapwing and Common Redshank and some very special butterflies. Come the colder months, ducks and geese move in.
