Wybunbury Moss.
Wybunbury Moss is a rare example of a 'schwingmoor' a German word which means ‘swinging bog’
The floating nature of the Moss is thought to have been created by the subsidence of the underlying salt bearing rocks brought during the ice-age. Allowing the formation of the underground lake on which the peat raft floats. The subsidence in these rocks is thought to have occurred sometime in the last 5000 years.
"Wybunbury Moss together with its surrounding woodland, reedswamp and flower-rich meadows covers an area of approximately 16.5 hectares and forms one of England’s most unusual National Nature Reserves (NNR). The reserve was first designated in 1955 with further land acquisitions been added to the area between 1957 and 2009.
The Reserve is home to a rich variety of uncommon plants and animals that once would have occurred more widely in similar hollows across the Cheshire Plain. The reserve is owned and managed by Natural England to protect this unique site and its wildlife for future generations." Source: (
