Cardiff Bay Wetlands Reserve Walking Tour 4K | Accessible Travel | CARDIFF WALES UK August 2022

Описание: GoPro Time-Lapse Footage of my quick trip to the Beautiful Cardiff Bay Wetlands Reserve in my Powered Wheelchair. Cardiff Bay is so very Accessible for Disabled people on wheels. A map of the route I took is included at end of video :)

Cardiff Bay Wetlands Reserve is located in Cardiff bay in the city of Cardiff. It covers an area of approximately 8 hectares (19.8 acres). The area was officially opened as a wildlife reserve on 25 July 2002 in what was previously an area of Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) up until the opening of the Cardiff Bay Barrage in April 2001. The area had previously been salt marsh, but the Barrage created 200 hectares of freshwater lake, and from this the reserve was developed.

In the early 1980’s Cardiff Bay had become a neglected wasteland of derelict docks and mudflats. Its population suffered from social exclusion and had above average levels of unemployment.
Today, the Cardiff docklands area is still known as Cardiff Bay and it has been transformed by the Cardiff Barrage that impounds the Rivers Taff and the Ely to create a massive fresh-water lake. A number of boat tours operate from Mermaid Quay, which allow you to gain an understanding of the history and fauna of this exciting and upcoming area. There is also a water taxi service which operates throughout the year from the Bay to the city centre and Penarth.
