Nature Reserves

With its streams, ponds, ancient woodland and species-rich grassland, this reserve provides a haven for wildlife in the city of Newport.

Once the largest steelworks in Europe, nature is returning to transform this site into an urban oasis full of wildflowers, birds and insects.

Sandwiched between the River Wye and the A40, this little gem of a grassland reserve provides a much-needed home for nature.

From sweeping views over the Monnow Valley to microcosms of plants and minibeasts living on the dry stone walls, there’s a lot to discover at this reserve.
