Descrição
Three miles of riverside walks available, passing the historic Wye bridge, Monmouth castle, and Monnow bridge, the only fortified bridge in Britain. Andorinhão-preto breed in the roof, listen for their screaming calls as they fly overhead. Alvéola-cinzenta, Garça-real, Garça-branca-pequena, Corvo-marinho-de-faces-brancas, Merganso-grande and Escrevedeira-dos-caniços are common. Andorinha-das-barreiras nest in masonry crevices on the Monnow and in the disused viaduct. Look out for Guarda-rios-comum flying low, fast and straight over the river. In winter, a flock of up to 200 Gaivota-parda can be seen on riverside meadows and school playingfields. Felosa-bilistada Gaivota de Delaware and Rabirruivo-preto 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 Pica-pau-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). Trepadeira-azul, Chapim-palustre, Estrelinha-de-poupa frequent the area and possibilty of Milhafre-real overhead.
