Gun is a hill at the southern end of the Peak District, overlooking the town of Leek in the Staffordshire Moorlands.

Gun Moor, area 78 hectares (190 acres), is a nature reserve of the Staffordshire Wildlife Trust.

Uncommon species of bird such as lesser redpoll and cuckoo may be seen, and bog asphodel flowers in the summer.

The Trust was aware that the moor was important and that it did not carry any protection; in order to secure the site, it was purchased by the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, and the Trust agreed to buy the site within two years, at the original price.

The land will be allowed to rewet, by filling in drainage ditches, and cattle will lightly graze at certain times of the year, so that bog asphodel and cranberry will be re-established; the land will attract wildlife whose habitat has been reduced in recent years.
