Cors Caron National Nature Reserve
Three exceptionally intact raised bogs fill the broad Teifi valley, surrounded by reedbeds, fen, wet grassland, waterways and woodland. Look and listen for Curlew and Skylark in spring, with Red Kites and Hen Harriers over the reserve and winter wildfowl using the wetland; Otters, dragonflies and lizards add interest beyond the birds.
