Designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Ramsar site, Black Firs & Cranberry Bog is one of a series of nationally important peatland sites that have developed in natural depressions, caused by ice-sheets which covered parts of Cheshire, Shropshire and Staffordshire some 15,000 years ago. Nice woodland walk and lots of interesting plants ferns and fungus.Visit in summer and see if you can see one of our most uncommon and largest ferns, Royal Fern – frequently planted in gardens - seen here in its natural environment.

An interesting little walk but unless you already know the history, there are no information plates (there used to be) it's a shame information about the site can't be shared. Not all the walkers using the site have iPhones etc..

Lovely interesting short walk, well planned to make the most of the area. Our dog insists on doing three loops! It's surprisingly dry when raining due to tree cover and slightly raised route. 👍

A small, yet very varied bit of woodland. There is a thriving ecosystem here, very refreshing short walk.
