Rhydymwyn Valley Works
Details: Nature has reclaimed the former WWII top secret weapons site, Rhydymwyn Valley Works, near Mold, Flintshire, which is now open as a nature reserve - but you will need to book in advance as the site is managed.
More than 60 species of bird have been identified, including kingfishers, 150 species of flowers, including the bee orchid, and signs of an otter on-site led to an articifical holt being created. For more information and to book a visit, use the reserve's own website or the website of the reserve managers, North East Wales Wildlife.
