Lower Moors, Protected wetland in St Mary's, Isles of Scilly, United Kingdom.
Lower Moors spans 10 hectares between Telegraph Road and Trench Lane, featuring diverse habitats of mire, reedbed, wet woodland, and open pools.
The site received its designation as a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1971, recognizing its importance for migratory and wintering birds.
The wetland serves as a research location for naturalists and scientists who study the interactions between native plant species and grazing management.
Visitors can access the area through entrances at Trench Lane and Telegraph Road, with paths requiring wellington boots during wet conditions.
In December 2007, this location marked the first documented sighting of a great blue heron in Britain, recorded by bird watcher Cavell Smith.
