The centerpiece of this natural wonder is the expansive lake, which stretches across a significant portion of the area. The lake is characterized by its crystal-clear waters, reflecting the surrounding lush greenery and creating a captivating sight. It serves as a habitat for a diverse range of aquatic life, including various species of fish, birds, and small mammals.

Adjacent to the lake is a pool, a smaller water body that adds to the beauty of the passage. The pool is known for its calm and tranquil atmosphere, attracting visitors seeking a peaceful retreat. Its still waters provide a perfect spot for relaxation and meditation.

A pond is also present in the Communication Passage, offering a different experience for nature enthusiasts. With its shallower depths and abundant vegetation, the pond supports a thriving ecosystem.

Into the Severn Estuary. The Welsh Coast Path turns inland here to avoid the docklands.

Pipeline near Celsa Steelworks

Looking at a map, the pipeline seems to run from/to the Steelworks at its northern end but disappears into the ground at the southern end.

Platinum Jubilee class 66 at the Celsa steelworks

GBRf have recently acquired their 100th locomotive - class 66 No. 66734, which replaces one of the same number scrapped after a derailment at Loch Treig in 2012 - and it has entered traffic in a purple and grey livery and named Platinum Jubilee. It is seen at the Celsa steelworks in Cardiff upon arrival from Eastleigh Works where it was repainted.
