View from Llanymynech Hill

Highlight • Historical Site

You get wonderful views over Shropshire from Llanymynech Hill. The area also has a rich history as one of the earliest mining sites in Wales. Copper was mined and smelted on the hill in the late Bronze Age and the summit boasts an extensive Iron Age hillfort which is testament to the scale of the mining.

Llanymynech Rocks Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

Llanymynech Rocks Nature Reserve is situated at the southern end of a carboniferous limestone outcrop that stretches from Anglesey to Llandudno. A busy quarry for around 200 years from the early 19th century, nature has now reclaimed the area with dramatic effect. Home to 416 species of plants, 33 species of butterflies, 46 different birds and 92 species of fungi and lichens, the reserve is a great place to explore at any time of year.
