Description
Foulshaw Moss is a raised bog in Cumbria. Despite peat having been cut at the site in the past, this raised bog retains some of its dome of peat that is higher than the surrounding land. Although the landscape is challenging, a boardwalk makes visiting easy-going, with routes leading through peaty pools or out onto the open moss. This Cumbria Wildlife Trust site is most famous for its Bukoč nest, but many other good birds can be found, including Lesser Redpoll, Prugasta Trepetljka and Poljski Vrabac.
