Abbotts Moss Nature Reserve, Nature reserve and scientific interest site in Whitegate and Marton, England.
The 12-hectare Abbotts Moss Nature Reserve contains acid bog, dry heath, and bog pools within Delamere Forest, northwest of Winsford in Cheshire.
The reserve features a peat base dating back 7000 years and includes two mature Schwingmoors known as South Moss and Shemmy Moss.
The Cheshire Wildlife Trust manages this conservation area under lease from the Forestry Commission to protect numerous plant and animal species.
The Whitegate Way, a former railway line converted into a footpath and bridleway, divides the reserve into two sections for visitors to explore.
Among 150 recorded spider species, the reserve houses adders in one of only two locations throughout Cheshire where these snakes exist.
