Llanelli Wetland Centre birdwatching guide
Llanelli Wetland Centre spreads lagoons, saltmarsh and reedbed along the Burry Inlet, looking south across the water to the Gower peninsula. The estuary outside the reserve is internationally important for wildfowl and waders, and the centre's hides put those flocks within reach without a long walk over the marsh.
