Dragonfly & Damselfly Walk

  • Magor Marsh Whitewall Road, Magor NP26 3DD (map)

Dragonfly and Damselfly Guided walk at Magor Marsh

Join the Living Levels team for a laid back discovery walk, bringing you closer to dragonflies and damselflies, as we celebrate the site's first anniversary as a designated Dragonfly Hotspot and Dragonfly Week 2025!

Emperor Dragonfly - C Harris

Designated by the British Dragonfly Society, in collaboration with RSPB, Natural Resources Wales and Living Levels Partnership, Dragonfly Hotspots are special places, carefully chosen because they support a good variety of dragonfly and damselfly species, are easy to access, and can provide opportunities for local communities to learn about dragonflies and get involved with dragonfly conservation and events.

  • Led by Chris Harris, Living Levels Programme Manager and County Dragonfly Recorder for Hereford, so you’ll be in expert hands.

  • See damselflies and dragonflies in action, from elegant pond skimmers to fierce aerial hunters.

  • Discover their secret lives, including the fascinating larval stage, where dragonflies live underwater for up to five years before emerging in their dazzling adult form.

If you haven’t been before, Magor Marsh reserve is a peaceful mosaic of reedbeds, ponds, and wet woodlands, perfect for spotting wildlife and soaking up nature’s calm.
