Bissoe Valley Nature Reserve
Bissoe Valley Nature Reserve
One of two modern ponds created when the Nature Reserve was established in 1986. The pond is surrounded by rushes, iris, heather and gorse, and is home to the 12 recorded species of dragonfly and damselfly, as well as frogs, toads and newts. A key aim of the nature reserve is to monitor and research the effects of heavy metal contamination from mine wastes, including the spoil from the nearby Point Mills Arsenic Refinery.
