About
Managed by Sheffield & Rotherham Wildlife Trust thanks to support from members and volunteers, Agden Bog nature reserve is a classic example of a type of bog that has now mostly disappeared from our landscape following draining of land for agriculture. Situated on the north west corner of Agden Reservoir in the beautiful Bradfield Dale, This nature reserve is most notable for its botanical interest. Vegetation varies from sphagnum beds, purple moor-grass dominated wet grassland, extensive bracken beds to birch woodland. The site is also good for spotting a number of mammals, including brown hare and roe deer.
