The Dingle is easily accessible from Llangefni, and the Lôn Las Cefni cycle path passes through it. The reserve makes for pleasant walking, via its footpaths, trails and boardwalks. There are a number of interesting wooden sculptures at various points in the woodland.

The Dingle is a good place to see woodland birds, as well as some that favour riverine habitats. The kinds of woodland birds that can be seen include great spotted woodpecker, bullfinch, great tit, robin, and wren. Nearer the river, you may spot the more elusive kingfisher, or a dipper, bobbing on a boulder in the river before dashing into the water to catch aquatic insect larvae. Moorhen and mallard nest on the river, and heron, cormorant, and grey wagtail are frequently encountered. The river supports populations of brown trout, eel, and salmon, and one of their principal predators, the otter, often scouts the area in search of prey.

The reserve is a haven for bats, and species such as lesser horseshoe, whiskered, brown long-eared and Natterer’s bats have been recorded. Typical woodland plants include bluebell, lesser celandine and wood anemone, with yellow flag iris, marsh marigold, and meadowsweet occurring in the wetter areas. The woodland’s dominant tree species include oak, ash, Scot’s pine, beech and sweet chestnut. There are also over 200 different species of fungi, some of which are nationally rare in Wales.

The Dingle is a steep sided gorge formed by glacial meltwater during the last ice age hence one of its Welsh names Nant y Dilyw - Valley of the Deluge.

The Dingle Local Nature Reserve is a 10 hectare (25 acre) wooded valley rich in wildlife and history. It is bisected by the river Cefni, which comes from the Welsh word "cafn" meaning trough or hollow.

The Dingle is a steep sided gorge formed by glacial meltwater during the last ice age hence one of its Welsh names Nant y Dilyw - Valley of the Deluge.

Another name for the Dingle is Nant y Pandy - Brook of the Fulling Mill. This refers to the old wool processing plant situated upstream.

Much of the reserve is ancient woodland which led to it being known as the Dingle as early as the 1830s. Dingle literally means steep wooded valley.

The reserve is home to a variety of wildlife including kingfishers, moorhens, woodpeckers, foxes, bats and dragonflies. Much of the ancient woodland is a carpet of bluebells and wood anemones in the spring.

It has been enhanced through community involvement, working in partnership and by grant aid. These enhancements include a wooden boardwalk that winds its way along the Cefni, three new bridges, sculptures, sculpted benches and picnic tables.

The Dingle is managed by the Isle of Anglesey County Council's Countryside Service. For more information please see the council website.
