点评:As their name suggests, this is a desolate and much forgotten part of North Lincolnshire. It is one of the largest and richest lowland peat areas in England. It has been a source of peat for centuries although extraction ended in 2001. The area has returned to its natural state with ponds, reed beds, marshy ares and trees.
There are way marked walks around the area with wooden broad walks over the wetter bits. It feels a world away and the only sounds are birdsong and the breeze. It is popular with dog walkers as well as bird watchers. For those wanting a longer walk, it is also part of the Peatland Way.
This was my first visit and on a sunny day it was magic!
One of the entrances is close to the Crowle Peatland Railway and they do a very good Sunday brunch on the third Sunday of the month and afternoon tea on the first Wednesday - combined with the walk, this makes an excellent half day.
翻译:正如他们的名字所暗示的那样,这是北林肯郡一个荒凉且被遗忘的地方。它是英格兰最大、最丰富的低地泥炭区之一。虽然开采于 2001 年结束,但几个世纪以来它一直是泥炭的来源。该地区已恢复到自然状态,有池塘、芦苇床、沼泽地和树木。
该地区周围有带标记的步道,在潮湿的地方有宽阔的木制步道。感觉就像一个世界,唯一的声音是鸟鸣和微风。它很受遛狗者和观鸟者的欢迎。对于那些想要走得更远的人来说,它也是泥炭地之路的一部分。
这是我的第一次访问,在阳光明媚的日子里,这真是太神奇了!
其中一个入口靠近克罗尔泥炭地铁路,他们在每个月的第三个星期日提供非常好的周日早午餐,并在第一个星期三提供下午茶 - 结合步行,这是一个很棒的半天。
