Natural Wetlands & Bogs

The Lake District’s wetlands, including rare lowland raised mires and high-altitude peat bogs, are vital ecosystems for specialized flora and fauna. Sites like Foulshaw Moss and Rusland Moss are significant National Nature Reserves that support rare species such as the white-faced darter dragonfly and provide nesting grounds for ospreys. These carbon-storing landscapes feature unique vegetation, including sundews and sphagnum mosses, and are often accessible via dedicated boardwalks and fellside trails.
