I can't get over how remote the Moors feel - and how they are like jewels within a desert of intensive agriculture - places where an abundance of wildlife is thriving. I am only now getting to know them, and there is so much to find out! such big areas, and in such a state of change - I will be fascinated to watch them develop, now that the peat stripping has stopped.

When you go onto the moors you can't hear the motorway, a car or anything. And quite suddenly a deer will come out of a copse. It's peaceful. I hope it's going to be a tourist attraction.

Access for children

It's not easy to take young children onto the moors especially without a car. Organised excursions for children would be a good idea.

Scrub Management

The cotton grass cannot grow whilst the birch and the willow are taking all the water. The scrub needs to be managed to allow the bog to develop.
