Cors Caron, Protected wetland reserve near Tregaron, Wales.
The reserve contains three raised peat bogs surrounded by reedbeds, wet grassland, woodland, and a network of waterways covering 861 hectares of land.
The wetland formation began 12,000 years ago when glacial melt created a shallow lake that gradually accumulated sediments and vegetation to form peat.
The name Cors Caron derives from Welsh language, translating to red bog due to the extensive peat deposits found throughout the protected area.
A fully accessible boardwalk traverses the southeast bog to a bird hide, while an old railway track offers walking, cycling, and horse riding paths.
The peat layers in Cors Caron reach depths of up to ten meters, making it one of the largest continuously growing raised bogs in lowland Britain.
