The site is a designated SSSI[1]

Located close to the village of Capel Coch and only 5 kilometres west of Benllech on the northeast side of the island, its varied terrain gives rise to large areas of reed bed, woodland and small lakes.

A total of 15 different types of dragonfly and damselfly have been recorded in the reserve, and at dusk barn owls can be spotted hunting.
