 These ponds contain the increasingly uncommon aquatic fern, pillwort and other uncommon pond plants like Tubular Water-dropwort.Numerous springs feed streams which run both north to a small river known as the Bachawy, a left-bank tributary of the Wye, and to the south, directly into the Wye.The Begwns are crossed by a number of public footpaths and bridleways though the entire area is mapped as open access providing free access to walkers across all of the land.
