Wepre Park
Iolo Williams explores wildlife havens. He visits Wepre Park, where he tracks down badgers and joins wardens surveying for rare great crested newts.
Wepre Park is nestled amongst the urban sprawl alongside the Dee estuary in North East Wales. Seeking out the park's wilder side, Iolo Williams tracks down badgers, heads out with wardens as they survey for rare great crested newts, comes within centimetres of a wood mouse and finds a scary-looking giant wood wasp amongst a log pile. It's an important park for the people to enjoy the outdoors, with areas of ancient forest, brooks, ponds and open spaces.
