Late Spring and SummerAbout the reserve
Traditional field patterns with a spectacular range of wildflowers, including Greater butterfly orchids. With their clawdd (earth and stone) walls, Caeau Tan y Bwlch are some of the last traditional fields left on the Llŷn Peninsula. Owned by Plantlife, they are now managed thanks to a partnership with North Wales Wildlife Trust.
