The Great Peat Moor is home to the common snipe, a typical moorland bird, while plants such as cranberry, sundew, rosemary heath and various sphagnum mosses thrive there. There are four well-signposted circular walking routes that serve as a moorland experience trail, offering visitors access to this unique landscape through shelters. The paths lead over three dams that have been built since 1843, and there are observation towers along these routes that provide an overview of the moor.
