Austwick and Lawkland Mosses
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Austwick and Lawkland Mosses is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)[1][2] within the Forest of Bowland National Landscape (see Forest of Bowland) in North Yorkshire, England. It is located 0.6 miles (1 km) north of the village of Eldroth and 1.1 miles (1.8 km) south of the village of Austwick. This area is protected because of the peatland habitats here. Streams in this protected area flow into the River Wenning. Austwick Moss and Lawkland Moss are two separate areas of raised mire that are connected by wet pasture. Historically, peat was extracted at this site.
