At just over two thousand acres, Cors Caron fills the valley of the upper Teifi river between Tregaron and Pontrhydfendigaid. It’s hard to miss this magnificent reserve in this part of Wales. The reserve boasts three raised bogs - areas of deep peat that have built up over the last 12000 years – and these in turn are surrounded by a complex and unique mix of habitats. These include:
· Reedbed
· Wet grassland
· Rivers and streams
· Ponds
· Woodland
Of course, all of this makes the reserve a fantastic place for wildlife.
Cors Caron is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and a wetland of international importance (Ramsar site).
