Gore Heath & Morden Bog Circular

Gore Heath and Morden Bog Circular

A delightful circular wander through the varied landscapes of Gore Heath and Morden Bog National Nature Reserve. Starting from Sherford Bridge car park, the route follows firm sandy and gravel forest tracks through mixed woodland, past atmospheric decoy ponds and wooden bridges, and out across open heathland with views over one of England's largest valley mires. Highlights include a forester's memorial, a lookout tower, the tranquil shores of Morden Park lake, and a gentle return leg alongside the River Sherford. Rich in wildlife, look out for Dartford warblers, sika deer, reptiles, and rare heathland wildflowers.
