Wet Moor, Protected wetland in Somerset, England

The 491-hectare Wet Moor contains grazing marsh grasslands and extensive ditch systems characteristic of the Somerset Levels and Moors landscape.

The Rivers Parrett and Yeo have shaped this low-lying land over centuries, creating a complex system of water management through embanked channels.

Local farmers maintain traditional grazing practices across the moorland, contributing to the preservation of this ecological system in Somerset.

Access to Wet Moor requires coordination with Natural England, as certain areas maintain restricted entry to protect sensitive wildlife habitats.

During storm conditions, the rivers overflow their banks, transforming the moorland into temporary water storage areas until river levels normalize.
