Lower Moors Nature Trail
Country Park/Nature Reserve
St Mary's
Isles of Scilly
Tel: 01720 422153
Fantastic for local and migrant bird life. Lower Moors exhibits a wide range of wetland habitats; the shallow water is especially good for feeding migrant birds which are passing through or wintering on the island. There are also small populations of rare species in Scilly such as the Royal fern Osmunda regalis and Southern marsh orchid Dactylorhiza praetermissa
Lower Moors is a SSSI due to the wetland communities within the mire site. This site also lies within the Isles of Scilly Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
