The Bishops Wood Local Nature Reserve, located above Caswell Bay, aims to conserve wildlife diversity and provide access and information to visitors and schools. It is a classic example a limestone woodland, relatively rare in Britain. Part of the wood is classified as an ancient woodland, which has been wooded since at least the 17th century as indicated in the 1673 survey of Bishopston Manor. At the top of the reserve is the Countryside Centre, a new timber framed roundhouse, which acts as a shelter within the woods and centre of activities and events year-round. Guided tours can be arranged by appointment. The Reserve has recently been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and candidate Special Area of Conservation (cSAC). It is also one of only two Nature Reserves in Wales to be awarded the prestigious Green Flag Award for 2005!
