Dersingham Bog, Protected nature reserve in Norfolk, England.

The reserve encompasses three distinct habitats with acid valley mire, heathland, and woodland areas spread across 159 hectares of unspoiled terrain.

The formation of this area dates back to the Lower Cretaceous Period, featuring significant geological deposits that document ancient coastal changes in Norfolk.

The reserve forms part of the Sandringham Royal Estate, maintaining its status as a vital conservation area within the Norfolk Coast protected region.

Visitors can access marked walking trails from two designated parking areas at Wolferton and Scissors Cross, with informative signs throughout the paths.

The site contains the largest acid valley mire in East Anglia, supporting rare species like bog asphodels, sundew plants, and black darter dragonflies.
