Gronant and Point of AyrReserves don’t get much more remote than Point of Ayr. It’s the northernmost tip of Wales and of our Dee Estuary site. The peace and solitude of this windswept part of the world make it an ideal refuge for wildlife. Wheatears, Wagtails and Pale-bellied Brent Geese all visit this vibrant mix of beach, dune, shingle and salt marsh at different times of the year. The Point of Ayr lighthouse stands watch against a backdrop of sweeping views across the Dee Estuary, the Wirral Peninsula and the wide horizon beyond.
The Gronant dunes lie between Prestatyn and Talacre along the North Wales coast. This area has a wild, open aspect containing a multitude of rare species, which are recognised by many of the conservation designations it has, including SSSI, Ramsar, SPA, and SAC status.
Please note - this event has limited numbers so book early.
