Beaufort Hill Ponds & Woodlands
A Local Nature Reserve and Community Green Flag Award Winner
NOVEMBER - 2021 IMPORTANT INFORMATION
We recently received comments about algea in the ponds. NRW have been testing for blue/green algae and we wish to make everyone aware that the ponds have tested for blue/green algae at a level which are well above warning level.
Therefore, please may we warn you and ask that ALL activities, including angling cease on these waters until further notice?
We request and recommend that pets should be kept on leads at all times.

22nd July 2020 - IMPORTANT NOTICE
Relaxing lockdown has now allowed us to reopen the car park. Grounds maintenance is complete and parking is now restricted to one vehicle plus one parking space for Blue Badge holders. Please continue to respect social distancing guidelines whilst also respecting housekeeping procedures, using the multiple bins around the park.
We have seen an increase in popularity over the past few months, which does make the Highlands Road entrance very congested. May I politely ask you to also use car parks located at Little Lane, Bangor Road and at The Beaufort Theatre, where there is a lovely cafe that should be opening soon when conditions allow. Please don’t forget that we are a volunteer organisation that relies on local funding support to keep the park in the condition it is. If you are able to support us please click HERE for further details.
24th July 2020 - Notification of fishing at Beaufort Woodlands
We have seen an increase of interest of fishing at Beaufort Ponds and Woodlands recently. Our aims are to ensure that a sustainable diverse environment is maintained, with little impact from the wider community. Fishing of the ponds has been supported by our society as part of an inclusive society that encourages well being and development. This has been respected for many years and we hope that following some basic guidelines we can continue to protect our precious environment for future generations. Fishing from within the waters is therefore prohibited and should only take place from the banks, as described in the Beaufort
LNR Ecological Management Plan.
If you require details of this plan please contact the Beaufort Hill Ponds & Woodlands or Blaenau Gwent CBC
JUNE 2021 - A POLITE NOTICE
When parking at the entrance, please respect these. Too many times I have had to re-assemble them due to cars bumping into them. You wouldn't do it to your own wall so please don't bump our boxes. Thank you.
JULY 2021 - PLANTERS NOW READY TO FILL
All 3 boxes now filled and ready to populate. Help our pollinators and donate a flowering annual or perrenial and pop it in one of our boxes the next time you visit
