Magor Marsh, Nature reserve in Monmouthshire, Wales.
The 36-hectare wetland contains damp hay meadows, sedge fen, reed beds, wet woodland, scrub, and numerous water-filled ditches connected through the landscape.
The drainage pattern of ditches at Magor Marsh has remained unchanged since the 14th century, making it a reference site for historical ecology studies.
Gwent Wildlife Trust organizes educational programs at the Derek Upton Centre, teaching local students about wetland conservation and natural heritage.
The reserve features boardwalks and surfaced paths leading to a bird hide, with wheelchair access available for the first 400 meters from the parking area.
Water voles were reintroduced to Magor Marsh in 2012, with 200 individuals released to repopulate the interconnected ditch network across the Gwent Levels.
