Fenn's, Whixall & Bettisfield Mosses - Walks and places to visit while staying at the Golden Pheasant (sitios de interés)

The Mosses Trails

The three interlinking circular trails contrast the rainwater-fed open wilderness of Fenn’s, Whixall & Bettisfield Mosses NNR with the lush groundwater-loving carr woodland along the popular Llangollen Canal and the shelter of butterfly-rich glades with the open views of pasture and hills from the canal towpath.

In a joint venture between Natural England, the Countryside Council for Wales and British Waterways, the three trails start from either Morris’s Bridge (SJ 493355) or the Marl Allotment at Roundthorn Bridge (SJ 501357) on the canal. They link to the Manor House NNR Base, Whixall, and Fenn’s Old Works on the disused railway line in Bronington.

The trails range from 2 km to 4 km long and can be combined to create longer walks of up to 7 km. The routes, marked by a series of arrowed posts, are easy to walk.
