Flanders Moss National Nature Reserve
The Earth really does move when you step out onto NatureScot's Flanders Moss National Nature Reserve. Now the largest lowland raised bog in the UK, a whole host of specialist plants and animals make their home in this fascinating place. You can enjoy the beautiful wilderness here by strolling along an all-abilities boardwalk, with a viewing tower that gives fantastic views across the reserve.
