About Lord's Lot Bog Nature Reserve

The reserve occupies an area not much bigger than a football pitch. The site is an example of a 'Schwingmoor', a floating raft of Sphagnum mosses in a basin mire, a nationally rare habitat. Lord's Lot Bog has always been an area of wetland but it is believed that, in Victorian times, the dam was built to create a boating or shooting pond.
