Parc Slip nature reserve, Wales

Description

A nature reserve and popular dog walking spot not far from the M4 Jct36. The reserve is over a former colliery, where a gas explosion became a major disaster in 1892. Today it's a lovely place to take a quiet walk and enjoy the sounds and sights of the increasingly large bird and insect populations.
