Explore Drumburgh Moss

This nature reserve, managed by Cumbria Wildlife Trust, is a haven for all sorts of wildlife. Waymarked trails provide a way to safely explore this peat bog. Stop to discover the pop-up panels which provide information on the plants and animals on show. Get a raised view over this expansive wetland landscape by climbing the steps of the lookout platform.

Highlight: 

Follow the trails alongside the bog pools during the summer for an amazing experience as thousands of multi-coloured dragonflies fill the air.

How to get there: 

This reserve is located adjacent to the village of Drumburgh, on the coast road between Carlisle and Bowness-on-Solway. Find the reserve by turning south off the road in the middle of the village. Follow this track about 800 metres, crossing a cattle grid, where a small car park and a Cumbria Wildlife Trust information board direct you onto the moss.
