During Winter these fields are almost permanently waterlogged despite regular attention to ditches and drains. This is due to their location in the remnants of the salt marsh that has been reclaimed following the construction of the sea wall at Penrhyn Bay Image At times during the last ice-age the Conwy Valley drained through this area when the direct route to the sea was clogged with sea-ice. Now the Afon Ganol drains in the opposite direction.
