Flitwick Moor, Nature reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest in Bedfordshire, England.
The 59.8-hectare Flitwick Moor contains the largest wetland area in Bedfordshire, featuring diverse valley mire habitats and numerous sphagnum bog moss species.
From the late nineteenth century until the 1930s, the iron-rich water from chalybeate springs at Flitwick Moor was collected and sold as a medicinal tonic.
The Two Moors Heritage Trail connects Flitwick Moor with Flitton Moor, enabling local residents to explore these significant natural landscapes in Bedfordshire.
Visitors can access the nature reserve from Greenfield Road, which divides the site and provides starting points for various walking paths through the wetlands.
Eight different species of sphagnum bog moss grow in Flitwick Moor, including one nationally rare variety that thrives in the iron-rich water environment.
