Lisvane and Llanishen Resevoir
Lisvane and Llanishen Reservoirs are a pair of adjacent Victorian reservoirs in north Cardiff that have been developed as a nature reserve and country park providing wildlife habitat and recreational walking close to the city. The reservoirs were constructed in the 1880s to supply water to Cardiff and were managed as operational waterworks before their transformation. The surrounding grassland, woodland and wetland habitats support a range of breeding and wintering birds including great crested grebes, cormorants and various wildfowl, and the perimeter walking path provides a pleasant circular route through a naturalistic landscape. The reservoirs form part of the broader green corridor along the northern edge of Cardiff connecting Roath Park with the open countryside of the Vale. The site provides an important and accessible natural green space for the communities of north Cardiff.
