Lake Vyrnwy
A variety of habitats make this an ideal base for a school visit
Lying above the beautiful reservoir of Lake Vyrnwy are thousands of hectares of heather moorland, meadow and woodland, crossed by rocky streams and dotted with crags.
In partnership with Severn Trent Water, we manage part of the reserve as the largest organic farm in England and Wales.
You may see great crested grebes and goosanders on the water, dippers by the streams, while ravens, buzzards and even peregrines, soar overhead.
For upper primary and secondary pupils there is a unique opportunity to go up onto the Berwyn moors and learn about peat bogs. They'll also be able to examine the biodiversity of this important environment and learn about its sustainability.
