Dingle local nature reserve
Helped by Cydcoed, Anglesey County Council have given a facelift to the Dingle, Llangefni, enhancing a local nature reserve for the public to enjoy.
New wooden boardwalks and foot bridges have been constructed, giving full disabled access to the woodland and riverside walks.
Birds such as kingfishers, yellow wagtails, moorhens and wild ducks visit the river and lake, whilst tree creepers, blue tits and spotted woodpeckers inhabit the woodland. Dragonflies, damsel flies and bats are also native to this reserve and in spring, the semi-natural ancient woodland is carpeted in blue bells and wood anemones.
Disabled parking is provided here, but not disabled toilet facilities. There are no steps, but the wooden boardwalk which is 650 metres long and 1.5 metres wide, allows easier access to the woodland area for those on foot as well as visitors in wheelchairs.
Location:
Llangefni, Anglesey
Directions:
Turn off the A55 at Llangefni; follow the one-way system around the town until you come to one of two car parks for the Dingle/Nant y Pandy nature reserve.
Beryl Jones One of the most enjoyable walks, the tranquillity there is wonderful, only the rush of the water, the birds singing and an occasional wild animal as you walk along. I really enjoy the walk. The only upsetting thing is so much dog fouling on the board walk you have to concentrate on where you put your feet and you're uanble to admire the pond and the ducks.

Matthew from Valley We had a lovely family walk out to the Dingle and really enjoyed it. We did not think it went as far as it did, and walked to the end in the car park at Rhosmarch and walked along the road back passed the art gallery. Please can anyone tell us how far it was? Certainly we were hungry when we got back! It realy was a lovely day and we planning to walk around the lake.We have just walked the path by the council offices today, yet another lovely walk under the A55 and more. Lovely to walk by the rivers and look at nature. We sort of take it for granted. It has all been done well, my son aged eight could go on his bike better than the dangerous roads. Paths are so easy to walk on too. Mon Feb 4 10:25:27 2008
Mike Russell Bangor Really enjoyed our first visit to this beautiful reserve. Easy access for my wifes mobility scooter. Good to see council employee litter picking. Only draw back was several piles off dog mess on board walk. Must research more into the derelict buildings buried in the woodlands, and the restored well. Fri Aug 3 09:32:52 2007
