Caeau Ffos Fach Butterfly Reserve
A 7 hectare relic of old Rhos pastures (wet purple moor-grass pasture), which were once widespread on the coal measures of Southern Wales. A landscape of wet grassland and heathland bounded by mature hedgerows, forming the main part of a SSSI and the core of the most important Marsh Fritillary population surviving in the county.
Highlights:
Butterflies
- Marsh Fritillary
- Marbled White
Moths
- Double Line
- Small Chocolate-tip
Location: Go west on the A48 from Pont Abraham Services towards Carmarthen. At Cross Hands Retail and Business Park take the slip road and turn right at the mini roundabout and go over the A48. Go straight across the next mini roundabout and take the next right into Meadows Road. Continue down Meadows Road and after a sharp left hand bend the reserve is on the left hand side. The National Cycle Network Route 47 passes just north of Cross Hands at Cwm-y-glo.
