Kenfig Pool is Glamorgan’s largest natural lake close to the steelworks at Port Talbot and to Bridgend. The reserve is one of the finest wildlife habitats in Wales and one of the last remaining examples of the huge dune system that once stretched along the coast of South Wales from the River Ogmore to the Gower peninsula. Surrounding the pool the dunes are home to a wide variety of wild orchids, as well as insects and other wildlife. Otters have been seen among the reed beds recently and among a variety of wildfowl the site is a regular wintering location for the Bittern and is a summer breeding site for Reed and Sedge Warblers. The scarcer Aquatic Warbler regularly visits in autumn. Kenfig is therefore one of the most important sites in Britain for nature conservation.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/3000435052/20972cb8-9e31-4f62-aa91-422e5c8c2479.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) [Photo](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/3000435052/20972cb8-9e31-4f62-aa91-422e5c8c2479.jpg) by [Mick Lobb](https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/26633) ([Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0)) ![Kenfig National Nature Reserve.
