Malltraeth Marsh, Protected wetland site in Anglesey, Wales
The marsh spans 1,359 hectares of diverse habitats, featuring pools alongside a railway line and reclaimed farmland on its western edge.
In 1790, Parliament approved legislation to construct embankments around Malltraeth and Corsddeuga marshes, leading to substantial drainage improvements.
The area's name stems from Welsh words mall and traeth, referring to an unwholesome beach that extended further inland before the Menai Strait formation.
Visitors can access observation points throughout the marsh to view native wildlife, with dedicated paths maintained for nature exploration.
The site contains visible remnants of ancient salt marsh creeks, appearing as shallow depressions in surrounding fields visible through aerial photography.
