Hiking
The 'moss' in Brown Moss actually refers to a peat bog rather than any particularly mossy nature. This reserve is teeming with wildlife from insects to birds and has several walking trails criss-crossing its modest expanse.
Largely a marsh and wetland area, some of the residents here include great-crested newts, dragonflies and frogs. This is one of the country's most important reserves for plant species too, so come with keen eyes, ready to spot unusual flora.
