Boggy heaven

If you like your wildlife wet, this is the place to be - and there’s 12 hectares of it! Water-loving birds and aquatic plants do well at this Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) because of a plentiful supply of food delivered to the lake by rain, air and the surrounding nutrient rich moorland.
