Dyfi Biosphere, Biosphere reserve in Ceredigion, Wales.
The Dyfi Biosphere contains Cors Fochno, a raised peat bog extending over 653 hectares with deep layers reaching 6 meters in depth.
The formation of Cors Fochno began around 5500 BC when forest covered the estuary floodplain before rising sea levels transformed it into reed swamp.
The Welsh Raised Bogs Project conducts research and conservation efforts at Cors Fochno to protect the natural heritage of Wales.
Visitors can explore the bog through a circular boardwalk starting from the parking area, but dogs are not permitted due to dangerous wet ground.
The site supports rare species including insectivorous plants, the rosy marsh moth, and the recently discovered Irish Lady's-tresses orchid.
