Source-derived summary

Cors Bodeilio National Nature Reserve lies in a shallow valley outside Talwrn on the Isle of Anglesey. Most of the land consists of a lime-rich mire. This type of wetland is rare, giving the reserve national importance. It is host to a large range of plants and animals, including the medicinal leech.

A number of nationally local or rare species of plant have been recorded from the site including fen pondweed, several species of stonewort including the rare dwarf stonewort, olive earthtongue fungus (Microglossum olivaceum), fen pondweed, narrow-leaved marsh orchid and fly orchid

The nature reserve is within a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest, is also a Ramsar site and is also a special area of conservation (SAC).

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Cors Bodeilio National Nature Reserve” as site of Special Scientific Interest in Wales. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Cors, Bodeilio and National.

Editorial reviewA practical orientation to terminology and classification, particularly when read beside dated observations, specimens or technical literature. The current 119-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Cors, Bodeilio and National providing the first useful test.
