Beddmanarch-Cymyran SSSI

Beddmanarch-Cymyran SSSI is a protected coastal area between Anglesey island and the mainland containing salt marshes, mudflats, and shallow water systems. The site covers extensive habitat with natural channels and banks shaped by tides and water flow.

The site gained protected status in 1961 when authorities recognized its value for specific plant and bird communities. This designation marked an important early effort to safeguard coastal habitats in the region.

Local fishermen and birdwatchers rely on this area as part of their daily routines. The waters support traditional maritime practices and serve as an important refuge for people studying natural life.

Parking is available near the A5 road with established paths connecting to observation points throughout the area. Bring sturdy footwear as the ground can be soft and wet in places.

All three British eelgrass species grow together in this one location, which is uncommon across the country. This concentration makes it a valuable research area for understanding marine plant distribution.
