Varied vegetation on cut-over bog.
Access from north and west boundaries from public road.
May-July.

The reserve consists of a low lying bog which has been extensively used for turf cutting in the past. Difficulties with drainage now prevents further cutting. Rocky outcrops form ridges running ENE/WSW through the area.

Vegetationally the reserve is a very varied. Wet areas support a wide variety of Carex and Sphagnum spp while small pools of permanent water have led to the development of colonies of reedmace TyphaTypha and water horsetail Equisetum. Birch woodland, with some hazel, rowan and holly has formed on the dried ridges. Further colonisation by tree species is likely. Mallard, snipe and woodcock frequent the area in winter.
