Descrizione
Three miles of riverside walks available, passing the historic Wye bridge, Monmouth castle, and Monnow bridge, the only fortified bridge in Britain. Rondone comune breed in the roof, listen for their screaming calls as they fly overhead. Ballerina gialla, Airone cenerino, Garzetta, Cormorano, Smergo maggiore and Migliarino di palude are common. Topino nest in masonry crevices on the Monnow and in the disused viaduct. Look out for Martin pescatore flying low, fast and straight over the river. In winter, a flock of up to 200 Gavina can be seen on riverside meadows and school playingfields. Luì forestiero Gavina americana and Codirosso spazzacamino 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 Picchio verde, 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). Picchio muratore, Cincia bigia, Regolo frequent the area and possibilty of Nibbio reale overhead.
