I)is(:o feril19 Dlffi Ilatiollal Ilatlll-e I~esel · ve The dunes at Ynyslas are the most familiar - and accessible - part of Dyfi National Nature Reserve (NNR). But they aren't the whole story. There's an outstanding range of different habitats here, Including the sweeping tidal sands and saltmarshes of the Dyfi Estuary and the raised peat bog of Cors Fochno, all of which play host to a rich and fascinating wildlife. This huge reserve covers an area of over 2,000 hectares, and is made up of three very different areas: Ynyslas Dunes: the largest dunes in Ceredigion and by far the most vis ited. The !:>andy slopes and hollows provide homes for a myriad of small animals including rare spiders, mining bees and spectacular butterflies like dark green friti llaries. They also support a rich population of orchids and other wildflowers, mosses, liverworlS, and fungi. Dyfi Estuary: with vast areas o f internationally important mudflats, sandbanks and saltmarsl, Lhat provide important feeding areas for wetland birds and a nu rsery area for mullet and bass. Cors Fochno (Borth Bog): lies to the sout h east of l he dunes and the Rive r Leri . It is one of the largest and fi nest remaining examples of a raised peat bog in Britain. The bog surface is dominated by a tapestry of green, gold and red sphagnum mosses. Many rare and unusual species li ve here includ ing insectivorous plants like sundews, large heath butterfly, the rosy marsh moth and small reel damselfly. _--~~:;S-~ Aberdyfi Aberdovey flAber Afon Oyfi Oyfi Estuary I Llwybr Arfordir Ceredigion Ceredigion Coast Path ==== ..

Seasonal highlights During the year look out for changes to the landscape and wildlife. Spring As the weather warms up, there are spring flowers in the dunes and flowering cotton grass on the raised bog. You may catch a glimpse of one of the many reptiles that live here such as the common lizard, sand lizard, adder and grass snake. The Welsh vernal mining bee, a bare sand specialist, is also active during the spring. There is plenty of birdsong to enjoy Including skylarks, linnets, stonechats, grasshopper warblers and whitethroats. Summer Summer brings a rich display of flowers to the reserve. Marsh orchids appear in the early summer in the dune slacks (the wet areas of the dunes) Followed by marsh helleborine, with pyramidal and bee orchids on the drier ridges. There are also colourful saltmarsh flowers: sea pink, sea aster. sea spurrey as well as the strange green fat fleshy sterns of marsh samphire. Buttel'flies and day-flying moths fill the air on sunny days on the dunes, while dragonflies dart around the raised bog You might spot wildlife like osprey and otter on the estuary. Autumn The autumn colours are rich and varied on the raised bog which is dressed in a range of russet red colours. Fungi including waxcaps. earth stal·s . puffballs and bird's nest fungi add to the colourful display on the dunes. YOLI Ci1n see migrating waders in the estuary. Winter During the winter, the Dyfi estuary is home to wintering Wildfowl while, on the beach, you may see waders like ringed plover, dunlin. sanderling and golden plovpr.

Remains of each year's growth of bog vegetation, together with pollen, sand grains i'lnd volcanic dust are preserved in layer upon layer in the waterlogged conditions. This unique archive of environmental information is a window into tile past enabl ing scientists to understand aspects of climate change and man's impact on the surroundings. A bog for bugs Many rare and specialised invertebrates survive here. They include: rosy marsh moth, large heath butterfly. bog bush-cricket, small red damselfly and bog raft spider. Hostile place for plants The waterlogged bog sur'face Is a hostile place for most plants, and those that tllrive here, like bog cotton, bog as phodel and bog myrtle, all have special adaptations. Carnivorous plants also come into their own here including al l three native species of sundews. Bog-creating mosses -:-he most important bog specialist plants (and the main peat-formers), are the bog mosses or spllagnums. which form colourful carpets on the open bog and ra ise its surface into a shallow dome as their remains accumulate. :5 species of bog moss occur here including three national ra rities .

    THE BUILDINGS OF MORFA BORTH - the Marsh Harbour Ceredigion That part of Borth Village on a pebble bank with the sea on one side and the Cors Fochno marsh some reclaimed and the railway on the other. In the distance is the River Dyfi. Photograph Michael Lewis Photographs and History by BERYL LEWIS This work is for research and educational purposes only. AWELON Morfa Borth The first house in the old Township of Cyfoeth-y-brenin and at the north end of the village with the beach over the road. Formerly called Moreland (Moorland) House. The name Awelon in Welsh means ‘cheerful air’. Home of Theophilus and Frances Rees who took in holiday visitors and lodgers, as did carpenter and builder William Williams and his family. Built after 1859 but by 1871. Awelon in 2015. Awelon is an end of terrace house and two storeys high under a gable roof at right angles to the road and within the roof is an attic. The house is double fronted, and its walls are stone, probably rubble stone, and are rendered. The chimneys are narrow and of a dark brick. The four windows and front door seem to be symmetrical which is unusual for Borth. The windows are modern. There is a porch on the front with a sloping lean to roof with a door at the side, and a window with one large light facing the road. This has a quarry tiled floor. The front garden is enclosed by a low wall, and part is planted. Part of the north wall butts against Morlan Bwthyn but is not joined to it.
