Geocache Description:


Like other Mosses in the area, the origins of Wybunbury lie in the last Ice Age when ice movement and erosion created depressions which over time filled with peat. At Wybunbury subsequent subsidence of the underlying rocks has left a raft of peat floating on an underground lake, one of only three such examples in the UK.

The peat raft is carpeted in Sphagnum (bog) moss, along with cotton sedge, cranberry, bog rosemary and the insect-eating sundew. The Moss is also important for its insect populations which includes two rare spiders and a beetle which is found nowhere else in England.

As well as the peat raft, the reserve area includes reedswamp, woodland and meadows where marsh violet and heath-spotted orchid can be found.
