Upcoming public moth group re-visit to Llangynog, 13th June 2026. In association with Butterfly Conservation. Supported by Y Senedd and Local Places for Nature.

Hi all,

Just a reminder that our re-visit to Craig Rhiwarth, Llangynog is nearly upon us.

The forecast is looking favourable for our target species Weaver's Wave, which was discovered as a second generation, in August last year at this site, on the North-east side of the village.

Most of the traps will be placed alongside the back lane which leads from Llangynog to Penybontfawr.

Parking is in the village car park and involves a short walk along the lane to where the event will be based.

Please wear appropriate clothing and footwear for an evening, outdoor event and you will need to bring your own refreshments. A head/hand torch is essential. Insect repellant is recommended as a precaution. Please bring something to sit on if needed.

Directions:

The event base is about 380 metres from the village car park.

It is best to approach Llangynog from the east or west, along the B4391. Park up in the village car park, where there are public toilets. 

Walking, turn right, out of the car park, crossing the river, then turn right, off the B4391 and up a single track lane. Almost immediately turn right again and walk along this lane, with the open, rocky slopes of Craig Rhiwarth on your left until you reach the event base location.

Drop-off at the event location is possible but vehicles will still need to be left in the village car park.

If the event needs to be cancelled, it will be notified by a post on this blog and also the group facebook page. Please check before setting out.
