Wet Covert is a woodland area located in Anglesey, a county in northwest Wales. Spread over a vast expanse, it is known for its dense forests and wetland habitats, making it a unique and diverse ecosystem within the region. The covert is situated in a low-lying area, resulting in a high water table and waterlogged conditions throughout the year.

The woodlands of Wet Covert are primarily composed of deciduous trees, including oak, birch, and willow, which thrive in the wet conditions. The dense canopy created by these trees provides a habitat for a wide variety of flora and fauna. The forest floor is covered in a rich carpet of mosses, ferns, and other moisture-loving plants.

The wetland areas of Wet Covert are home to several species of birds, including ducks, herons, and kingfishers, which rely on the water for feeding and nesting. Additionally, the wetland habitats attract amphibians such as frogs and newts, as well as a diverse array of insects and invertebrates.

Visitors to Wet Covert can explore the woodland through a network of well-maintained trails and footpaths. The area is popular among nature enthusiasts and hikers, who appreciate the tranquility and natural beauty of the wet woodland. It provides an excellent opportunity for birdwatching, wildlife photography, and general nature appreciation.

Converted windmill There must be dozens of old windmills across Anglesey, where wind is a feature, but fast flowing streams for water power are rare. This old mill was photographed by Nigel Williams in 2006 and Eric Jones in 2007, but since then the mill has been transformed into a desirable and unusual residence.
