A view across Cors Goch

Cors Goch is a fen in a shallow valley near the village of Llanbedrgoch, on the eastern side of Anglesey. The site is managed as a nature reserve by the North Wales Wildlife Trust, for whome the protected site also includes calcareous heath, meadow and an acid heath overlain on millstone grit.

There is some area of open water including Llyn Cadarn but much is marsh or shallow bog which supports a species rich ecosystem dominated by reeds. A number of rare plants and animals are able to flourish in this environment, including great crested newt and adders. The medicinal leech and glow worm have also been found here.[1]
