Waen Ddu


A raised bog at the edge of Craig y Cilau nature reserve. the marshy peat bog of Waen Ddu. This dome-shaped raised bog is quite rare in Wales. Peat cutting has damaged many bogs. Waen Ddu is relatively intact and still growing, though its plant cover has been grazed intensively by sheep (note the differences in vegetation in the enclosures fenced to keep the sheep out). Plants that grow here include the insect-eating common sundew.
