A Rainy Spring Day at Parc Slip. Wildlife Trust

I have recently started discovering Parc Slip Nature Reserve run by the Wildlife Trust. This reserve, similar to Newport Wetlands, is a classic example of how nature can reclaim a land. Once a mine, now a haven for creatures great and small. All 300 acres of it!
'This reserve occupies land that was once part of the Parc Slip coal mine, which opened in the 1860s. It was a drift mine - the underground coal seams were reached by a sloping tunnel rather than a vertical shaft. It was owned by the Ogmore Coal and Iron Company until 1889, and then by North's Navigation Company.'
