Llandegla Forest ((ウェールズ語:Coed Llandegla)) is a forest of planted conifers covering 6.5 square kilometres in Denbighshire, north-east Wales. It is situated to the south-east of the village of Llandegla at the north-western edge of Ruabon Moors. The forest is owned by UPM Tilhill and planting began in the early 1970s. The trees are mostly Sitka Spruce with a smaller area of larch. In the middle of the forest lies Pendinas Reservoir ((ウェールズ語:Llyn Pendinas)). It was constructed in the late nineteenth century by Brymbo Water Company to provide water for the local area. It is currently managed by Dee Valley Water. The forest is used for a range of recreational activities including mountain-biking and walking. The Offa's Dyke Path, a long-distance footpath passes through the forest. Fishing activity takes place at the reservoir. The forest and adjacent moorland are important habitats for the Black Grouse which is declining in many parts of England and Wales. The birds are increasing here due to a programme of special land management. A bird hide has been constructed overlooking the birds' Lek (mating arena) to allow visitors to watch them. ==References== *Llandegla Millennium Action Group (2003) ''Llandegla Then and Now'', Llandegla Millennium Action Group, Llandegla. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Llandegla Forest」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
