Wildlife
The Trevithick Trail passes through a variety of habitats, among them ancient semi-natural
deciduous woodland, grassland and wetland. Running alongside is the River Taff, offering river
bank habitat to animals such as Otter and Kingfisher.
The layered structure of the woodland, including woodland ground flora, shrub layer and canopy, supports a diversity of plant and animal
species; while a mosaic of different habitats along the trail (including grasslands and woodland
glades, and riparian and wetland habitat) also supports a huge variety of flora and fauna.
There are also some interesting stone carvings of some of the wildlife that can be found along the
trail.
