Rhydymwyn nature reserve

The site of the secret wartime facility has been kept free of interference for so long that it is now maintained as a nature reserve. The River Alyn used to meander across the site between the wooded slopes, but was taken into a culvert at the south-western edge and the floor of the valley levelled by taking the spoil from the creation of a series of huge underground storage levels. The suspicious contours remain from this time but grass has taken over the spoil.
