NY5166 : Information board at the edge of Walton Moss
taken 17 years ago, near to Walton, Cumbria, England
Information board at the edge of Walton Moss
There is a map of Access Land in the area, and information about the moss.
The larger area of Walton Moss (to the north west) is an actively growing raised mire, a rare survivor in Britain of this type of lowland peat bog.
The land seen behind the board, however, has been subject to drainage and the sphagum moss has given way to grass, rush and scrub.
