Cob Pool

Wild geese gather here in their hundreds come autumn, turning this sizeable pool into one of Anglesey's better birdwatching spots. Cob Pool sits quietly near Bodorgan, offering a proper slice of Welsh wetland that feels genuinely untouched despite the nearby A4080.

Birdwatchers will find their patience rewarded, especially during migration periods when the variety picks up considerably. The surrounding reeds and marshy edges provide good cover for spotting, though you'll want proper binoculars to make the most of it. Families might enjoy a gentle wander around the accessible parts, but this isn't really a bucket-and-spade destination - more one for those who appreciate wildlife and quiet spaces.

Access appears to be free, which is always welcome, though facilities are minimal so come prepared. The pool works well as a peaceful stop if you're staying at one of the holiday parks dotted around this part of Anglesey - Coed Helen Holiday Park and Plas Caravan Park are both within easy reach. Early morning visits often prove most rewarding when the birds are most active and the light catches the water just right.
