Oakhanger Moss

Oakhanger Moss is a Site of Special Scientific Interest SSSI covering 13.58ha. English Nature reports that it was originally a mere within a glacial hollow; since the 17th century the water has become filled with vegetation creating a raised peat bog. Adders can be found on the site. Neighbouring sites such as White Moss have been excavated for commercial peat production.
