Porth Diana Nature Reserve

Small coastal heath at Trearddur Bay with spring orchids and a herd of grazing ponies

A small nature reserve of coastal heath and grassland around a rocky cove at Trearddur Bay, on Holy Island's west coast. In late spring and early summer it is full of wild flowers, and it is grazed by a few ponies. It makes an easy stop on the coast path between Trearddur and South Stack.
