Silver Flowe

Silver Flowe is a complex of seven peat bogs crammed into the floor of the glen. In just one site, you can explore bogs with features that are normally separated by hundreds of miles. Look carefully from the surrounding hills and you may be able to make out the small mossy domes as well as the silvery pools that give this Reserve its name.
