Rhos Goch National Nature Reserve

Rhos Goch National Nature Reserve, located near Painscastle on the England/Wales border, is one of the largest raised bogs in mid and south Wales. ‘Goch’ is Welsh for ‘red’, and in autumn the bog accordingly becomes a stunning carpet of red and gold. Many birds and insects love the reserve's diverse and little-disturbed habitats. Curlew and lapwing feed here in the winter, and in summer the swamp is alive with the calls of the willow warbler and reed bunting, the air shimmering with dragonflies and damselflies.

Rhos Llawr Cwrt National Nature Reserve

Rhos Llawr Cwrt National Nature Reserve nestles in the base of the Clettwr valley, some 10 kilometres from the Ceredigion coast, between Ffostrasol and Talgarreg. Glaciers have scraped and shaped this landscape and evidence of the last Ice Age can be seen everywhere. The most striking of these are the remains of the pingos found on the reserve, landforms which were once small hills but whose summits collapsed when the ice which formed them melted. The site carries international importance because it holds one of the best populations of the marsh fritillary butterfly in Wales. At peak times, thousands of butterflies can be seen flying around parts of the site. External links "Rhos Llawr Cwrt". Countryside Council for Wales. Retrieved 28 May 2009.
Rhosnesni High School

Rhosnesni High School, also known as Ysgol Rhosnesni High School or simply Ysgol Rhosnesni, is an English-medium mixed comprehensive secondary school in Rhosnesni, Wrexham, Wales. It was created in 2003 and maintained by Wrexham County Borough Council as a part of their controversial "super schools" plan. History In 2002, plans were ratified by the Welsh Assembly to create two 'super' schools in Wrexham, with an emphasis on vocational education. Opposition to the plans was received from parents, and a petition of over 1000 signatures was delivered to the Wrexham County Council in April 2002. Nearby Yale College, which was to offset the some costs of the project by buying the Groves school and selling land, dropped out. By late 2003 it became apparent that the original £12 million budget for upgrades would fall short by about £10 million because inflation was not accounted for in estimates. Nonetheless, the county council approved overspends allowing the schools to be upgraded as planned. Both of the new schools serve around 2500 pupils age 11 through to 16. Three secondary schools were merged into two schools: Rhosnesni (formerly known as St. David's School), and Ysgol Clywedog (formerly known as Bryn Offa). The third school, Groves, was used as a temporary site for Rhosnesni, Ysgol Clywedog and another local school, St Joseph's Catholic High School, while improvements were made to their permanent sites. The Groves was shut down entirely in 2006 and remained unused until its partial demolition in 2013/'14. As of 2022, the oldest part of the Groves school building still stands, and proposals for demolishing the site faced local opposition. In 2014, a report by Wrexham Council showed that there had been a big fall in admissions to Wrexham's super schools. The percentage of primary school pupils applying to Rhosnesni had fallen from 71% to 36%. Rhosnesni was one of 40 Welsh schools that was chosen to take part in a Welsh government scheme to improve standards. In 2022, after Estyn’s inspection of the school in June 2022 they decided that the school made insufficient progress from their last core inspection in 2018. This led to Rhosnesni High entering special measures. In 2023, after Estyn’s follow-up inspection of the school in March 2023 they decided that the school made sufficient progress from their last core inspection in 2022. This led to Rhosnesni High being removed out of special measures. References External links Official site of school
Rhyl High School

Rhyl High School is one of two high schools in Rhyl, Wales. It was founded in 1894. History Rhyl and District Intermediate School was founded in 1894. In 1901 the school was relocated to Grange Road and became Rhyl County School. The school subsequently became Rhyl Grammar School after the war and finally renamed as Rhyl High School. In April 2016, the school moved from the 1901 site on Grange Road to a brand new building on the site of the school playing fields. In June 2017, the school was put in lockdown for 45 minutes due to threats of violence towards pupils attending the school. The incident required the intervention of the police, resulting in the arrest of the 15-year-old culprit.

Rhyl Miniature Railway

The Rhyl Miniature Railway (Welsh: Rheilffordd Fach y Rhyl) is a 15 in (381 mm) gauge miniature railway line located in Rhyl on the North Wales Coast. The line runs in a circle around a boating lake near the promenade, to the west of the town centre. The railway is operated by Rhyl Steam Preservation Trust, a Registered charity. History Work on the railway began in December 1910 when it was surveyed by Henry Greenly, to whom permission was given to start work in March 1911, and the railway opened to the public on 1 May 1911. The railway proved to be a great success in its first year. The railway was originally operated using a single Bassett-Lowke Class 10 Atlantic and 6 Bassett-Lowke carriages. In 1913 it was decided to buy a second Class 10 and the "cars de luxe" were built in the company's workshop. In 1920 the decision was taken to replace the two Class 10 with something more powerful due to them being stretched to their limits during peak season. The resulting engine was the first of the "Albion" locomotives. It all came to an end in 1969. Rhyl Amusements was by then a subsidiary of Trust House Forte Leisure Ltd, whereas the Marine Lake itself belongs to the Borough Council. Trust House would not invest further in the Marine Lake site without a very long lease being granted, which the Council refused. As a result, Trust House decided to concentrate all its resources at Ocean Beach, and handed back the Marine Lake to the Council in 1970, completely bare. The trackbed then lay bare until 1978 when it was relaid. The railway then started running trains on 1 July 1978. The new central station building was opened in May 2007. The central station incorporates the Albert Barnes Room which displays the steam locomotive "Billie". Locomotives References Further reading Mitchell, Vic; Smith, Keith (2012). Rhyl to Bangor.

Talybont Reservoir

Talybont Reservoir (Welsh: Cronfa Ddŵr Tal-y-bont) is the largest stillwater reservoir in the central Brecon Beacons at 318 acres (1.29 km2). Talybont-on-Usk is 1.5 miles (2.4 km) downstream of the dam. Construction of the current dam started in 1931 by Newport Corporation, and in 1939 the reservoir started supplying Newport with treated water. The reservoir is now owned by Welsh Water. In 2019 a £10 million modernisation took place, including upgrading the pipework inside the dam.

Ystradfellte Reservoir

Ystradfellte Reservoir is a water storage reservoir on the Afon Dringarth in the upland area of Fforest Fawr within the Brecon Beacons National Park in South Wales. It lies just north of the village of Ystradfellte in the county of Powys at OS Grid ref SN 946178. The embankment is 920 feet (280 m) long by 114 feet (35 m) high. When full the water surface is 1,204 feet (367 m) above sea level. Construction The reservoir was constructed between 1907 and 1914 by Neath Rural District Council for the supply of water. A temporary railway track was constructed for 7 miles (11 km) from the village of Penderyn to transport building materials to the dam site. Limestone was obtained from Penderyn Quarry and puddle clay was excavated from the glacial till at nearby Cilhepste Coed. Sandstone may have been sourced from Gwaun Hepste just east of Ystradfellte. The railway required the construction across the Afon Hepste of a 300 feet (91 m) long, 50 feet (15 m) high wooden viaduct. References External links Images of reservoir and area on Geograph website
Roch Castle

Roch Castle (walisisk: Castell y Garn) er en borg fra 1100-tallet, der ligger i Roch nær Haverfordwest, Wales. Den blev opført af den normanniske ridder Adam de Rupe eller Adam de la Rouche i anden halvdel af 1100-tallet, sandsynligvis på et sted hvor en tidligere fæstning af træ har stået. Roche er et almindeligt fransk ord for klippe, mens rupestre understreger at der vokser planter mellem klipperne. Den blev opført på samme tid som Pill Priory nær Milford Haven, der også blev opført af Rupe-familien, og Roch Castle blev sandsynligvis opført fore at være en af de ydre forsvarsværke i "Little England" eller "Landsker", da den lå tæt på den uofficielle grænse, der i århundrede havde delt det engelske og walisiske område i Pembrokeshire.

Roch Castle

Roch Castle (Welsh: Castell y Garn) is a 13th-century castle, located at Roch near Haverfordwest, Wales. Built by Norman knight Adam de Rupe circa 1200, probably on the site of an earlier wooden structure. Roche is the usual French word for rock, while rupestre signifies a plant growing among rocks. Built at the same time as Pill Priory near Milford Haven, Roch Castle was probably built in this location as one of the outer defences of "Little England" or "Landsker", as it is located near the unmarked border which for centuries has separated the English and Welsh areas of Pembrokeshire. After the deRupe family died out in the 15th century, the Castle was taken over eventually in the 17th century by the Walter family. Their daughter Lucy was born in the castle, and later became a courtesan of Charles II, and bore him an acknowledged son James, 1st Duke of Monmouth. During the English Civil War, the Walter family declared for King Charles I. Although Pembrokeshire was initially Royalist, the Puritans gained the upper hand. The castle changed hands twice, before the Walter family fled when it was captured for a second time by the Parliamentary forces and subsequently burned in 1644. It lay dormant and unclaimed until the return of Duke of Monmouth, who led a rebellion and was captured at the Battle of Sedgemoor, and then beheaded on 15 July 1685. The castle remained decaying until 1900, when purchased by John Philipps, 1st Viscount St Davids, who restored it with a steel frame and new concrete floors to the designs of D. E. Thomas of Haverfordwest. Further works were carried out in 1910 and circa 1918–20, the latter by D. F. Ingleton. The castle was purchased in 2008 by Keith Griffiths and was restored as a hotel. Completed in 2013, the restoration was designed by Griffiths and Acanthus Holden. The hotel has won a number of awards.

Rookwood Hospital

Rookwood Hospital (Welsh: Ysbyty Rookwood) was a rehabilitation hospital situated in Llandaff, in the city of Cardiff in South Wales. It was managed by Cardiff and Vale University Health Board. History Rookwood was built for Colonel Sir Edward Hill in 1886; he, and subsequently Lady Hill, lived there until 1917. The name 'Rookwood' was given to the house during its course of construction by Lady Hill. Before her marriage she was brought to see the building construction and was asked to find a suitable name for it. When she came to the property, a number of rooks were flying overhead and she immediately thought of 'Rookwood', and decided that it should be the name. In 1918 Rookwood was taken over for use as a convalescent home. At the end of the First World War it was purchased by Sir Lawrence Phillips and presented to the ministry as a home for Welsh paraplegic pensioner cases. After that it was used by the University Hospital of Wales. In 1932, after being extended, it became a general hospital. During the 1970s and 1980s Rookwood had eight wards caring for people with spinal injuries, brain injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease. The hospital gardens and grounds are Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales. Services Rookwood provided specialist neurological and spinal rehabilitation services. The Rookwood Hospital site still hosts the Artificial Limb and Appliance Service. Hospital radio Rookwood Hospital was the home to Rookwood Sound Hospital Radio, which broadcasts from the site and to the University Hospital Llandough and is where radio presenter Huw Stephens began his career at 14.

Rougemont School

Rougemont School (Welsh: Ysgol Rougemont) is a private co-educational day school located in the manor house Llantarnam Hall located between Newport and Cwmbran, South Wales. The school offers education for three to eighteen year-olds. History The school was founded in 1926 as a private prep school for junior children and began life in a building called Rougemont House on Clevedon Road, Newport. Under the ownership of the Evans family, in 1931 it expanded into an adjacent house. By 1946, the school was housed in Nant Coch House, Risca Road, Newport, and the number of pupils had increased to about 200. When the Evanses retired in 1974, a number of families raised a loan to buy the school, electing a board of nine governors. The Stow Hill buildings, formerly housing the Convent of St Joseph were purchased, and classes were extended first to Common Entrance level, then to O-levels, and finally in 1983 the first A-levels were taken, under the leadership of Frank Edwards. The site at Nant Coch was retained as a pre-preparatory department. Succeeding years saw two changes of leadership, namely headmasters Richard Ham (1988–1991) and Graham Sims (1991–1995). Ham's tenure as headmaster was cut short by his sudden death in 1991. The school moved to its present site, Llantarnam Hall, a large Victorian mansion set in 50 acres (200,000 m2) of parkland on the outskirts of Newport, in 1992. The building that currently houses the infant school is named for Nant Coch. Present day The school day starts at 8.50 am and formally finishes at 4 pm, but there are extra-curricular activities available if wanted until 6 pm. With 55 acres of grounds, much learning is taken outdoors, in the outdoor classrooms and the sports facilities. The present headmistress is Lisa Pritchard, appointed in 2023, previously head of the prep school, who succeeded Robert Carnevale on his retirement.
