A vast expanse of peat bog stretching over 1,500 acres, Portlethen Moss is a unique and fascinating natural attraction. The moss is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including rare species such as the carnivorous sundew and the bog leech. Visitors can explore the moss via a network of boardwalks and footpaths, taking in the eerie silence and the sight of the peat-stained water. The site also features a number of archaeological remains, including ancient burial mounds and the remnants of a 19th-century peat-cutting community.
Me and Toby love walking here. Being as he is a springer spaniel he enjoys running about in the heather and boggy bits and getting really muddy.
Excellent walk for dogs. Lot's of wildlife to see & a few benches to sit back & relax on. Can be a little muddy, as not all walkways are man made, but welly or hiking boots advised, especially during winter or after it's rained.
Amazing place. When there you could be miles from civilisation when your only actually a few hundred metres from main roads. Great spot for a chilled out walk.
Nice marshy area to walk through. The whole area around here used to be like this. Plenty if wildlife to see if you're keen eyed.
Nice for a wee walk during the day. But can get muddy if the weather is not very nice
Love this place, it is so important to the entire community. Sorry that I forgot to take pictures, will remember next time..
