Veilstone Moor

A fine example of Culm grassland

Veilstone Moor is a fine example of Culm grassland and the extensive network of linked grassland and woodland make for an interesting visit. The site has examples of most types of Culm habitat, from areas of dry heath to quaking mires and flowing water filled ditches. There are examples of drier, mixed deciduous woodland and scrub on the northern and southern ends of the reserve
