Outside the cottages... |

The rivers are swift flowing
until they meet at the confluence, just beyond the cottages. From
here the Vyrnwy widens with some slow flowing and willow lined stretches
where fish tuck in against eroding banks on the outside of bends.
Cunning wild brown trout, graceful grayling, chub and salmon, in season,
test the skills of anglers. So cast off your worries and come and
have a go.
Walking along the riverside you may be lucky and catch sight of some
of the wealth of wildlife, which live along the banks. A kingfisher
or two, maybe two or three swans gliding along or sunning themselves
on the field. Even otters have been spotted occasionally. In the summer
there are many migrating birds, such as swallows, which may awaken
the light sleeper with their dawn chorus. It never feels like summer
has arrived until you hear the curlew with it's long plaintive call
echoing down the valley. Newbridge is also on the edge of Kite Country;
look out for these majestic birds soaring whilst you fish or wonder.
In the winter you can catch the odd glimpse of a badger or a sly cunning
fox as well as your winter birds such as the robin and the canada
geese flying high above. |
