Brown Moss

Description

Brown Moss is situated just a few miles South of Whitchurch. It's one of North Shropshire’s 'Meres and Mosses' that characteristic of the area. Brown Moss contains many rare and endangered species including Great Crested Newts, and is consequently designated as a Local Nature Reserve, Site of Special Scientific Interest, Special Area of Conservation and a RAMSAR site. Some visitors may find it difficult to complete the circular walk, particularly during winter when the paths can become rather muddy. The paths around the Nature Reserve are level but unsurfaced, uneven and boggy in places. However the site is bordered by a quiet tarmac road with good views of the water. There is road-side parking available. A pleasant picnic area is located in the meadow, just a short walk from the car park.
