Description

Warren House is a typical heather covered moor with a conifer forest at the base of the gentle valley. Great place to see a wide variety of upland birds. One of the most notably the species you can see here is Ring Ouzel. They are often best looked for around the old settlement but they have come close to the picnic tables around the car parks.
