Background
History
The reserve was established in 1993, located a mile from Cardigan. The site won an award for its design upon opening. The main building is a wood and glass structure with a panoramic view across Cardigan and the River Teifi. The site is owned and managed by Wildlife Trust of South & West Wales. On New Year's Day that year, the site was again attacked by vandals, who damaged a badger sculpture. The site currently welcomes over 80,000 visitors per year.
