Ford Moss

Ford Moss is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), containing a Scheduled Ancient Monument, located 12 miles (19 km) south-west of Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland, England.

The site is managed by the Northumberland Wildlife Trust and gained its SSSI status in 1968, and in 2005 it was designated a Special Area of Conservation.

[6] Access can be gained by heading south off the B6353 (vehicles must be left at the gate of the site) and although there are a some good footpaths for the general public, permits are required to enter certain parts.

The bog, or mire, was a rainfed lake at some point in its history of which the build up of vegetation outstripped that of decomposition, giving it its 'raised' aspect.

[13] On the western edge of the site are located the remains of a colliery which was in use from at least the late 17th century to the outbreak of World War I.
