Nature Reserve
Details
Waun Las National Nature Reserve lies adjacent to the north and east side of the formal area of the National Botanic Garden of Wales. Occupying over 150 hectares of Carmarthenshire countryside, it has been managed as an organic farm for the past 10 years. It contains a wide range of valuable habitats including rhos pasture, wet woodland and lowland meadows – priorities for conservation in the UK and the rest of Europe. It’s also a landscape of hidden secrets – the Reserve is sited on the late 18th century Middleton Estate, which itself was built over the remains of a 17th century estate.
