Magor Marsh

Magor Marsh was obtained in 1963 by the Gwent Wildlife Trust as its first reserve.
It is the last relatively natural area of fenland on the Gwent Levels.
In 2014, part of it was under the threat of compulsory purchase from the Welsh Government’s proposed M4 Relief Road development. This project was later abandoned in 2019. However there have subsequently been some suggestions from the UK government that the project should go ahead.

It is within the area of The Living Levels Landscape Partnership, a Heritage Lottery Funded Landscape Partnership scheme, which aims to reconnect people and communities to the Gwent Levels landscape and provide a sustainable future for this historic and unique area.
