Lindow Moss, Peat bog in Wilmslow and Mobberley, England.
The 600-hectare wetland landscape features dense layers of peat formed by decomposed plant matter over thousands of years in Cheshire's countryside.
The 1984 discovery of Lindow Man, an Iron Age body dating between 2 BC and 119 AD, revealed details about ancient British life.
Local residents received authorization to extract peat for fuel starting in 1421, establishing a connection between the community and this natural resource.
Visitors need to follow designated paths and guidelines to protect the sensitive ecosystem while exploring the archaeological site.
The chemical composition of the peat creates preservation conditions that maintain organic materials, including human remains, for extended periods.
