Cors Caron is one of the UK's best preserved raised peat bogs (although it also has suffered extensive use and is only a remnant of its past glory). Its surface is a beautiful mosaic of plant life that both responds to and engineers the ecosystem.
A brown and golden field of reeds and cotton grass, the latter creating soft puffs of white that adorn the peatland landscape. In the backgound, green hills rise above the bog, now fields but probably once covered by blanket bogs. View of peat vegetation from above. On the peat surface are patches of ruddy red and green Sphagnum and crusts of lichen (reindeer lichen?). Popping through them are tufts of cotton grass.
