Longridge Moss

Scottish Wildlife Trust

Longridge Moss is a significant lowland raised bog located in the UK, characterized by its unique wet, acidic habitat. This nature reserve supports a variety of specially adapted plants, including Sphagnum mosses, sundew, and cotton grass. The area is also home to notable bird species such as snipe, curlew, and skylark, along with brown hares that can be spotted among the heather. For wildlife enthusiasts, July is the prime month to visit Longridge Moss, with peak activity occurring around 01:00. During this time, you may observe jackdaws, blackbirds, and lesser redpolls, among others. While roe deer and curlew sightings are less frequent, they can still be encountered, making early morning visits particularly rewarding for those keen on experiencing the reserve's diverse fauna.
