The best farm stays in Flanders Moss National Nature Reserve

·

Flanders Moss’ status as the largest lowland raised bog in the UK may not, at first, sound particularly exciting, but a visit will reveal how special this nature reserve is. An ancient and wild landscape, Flanders Moss is covered with sphagnum mosses and a wide variety of specialist plants and animals that create a colorful carpet of reds, oranges and greens. You can enjoy the captivating view by taking a stroll along the boardwalk, and from the viewing tower that provides views all across the reserve. While there is no camping within the reserve, the campsites at Trossachs Holiday Park and Cobleland are both within a 15-minute drive.

*PLEASE NOTE THE CABIN IS AVAILABLE FOR MIDWEEK AND WEEKEND BOOKINGS. CAMPING WILL RETURN IN SPRING 2026.* Cleghorn Farm is a mixed farm just north east of the market town of Lanark. Comprised of 250 acres of fields and woodland and bounded to the south by Mouse Water, it is a beautiful spot to get away from it all without having to leave it all behind if you don't want to. The fields are grazed and cultivated but the woodlands are much as they were at the end of the last ice age with spectacular walks along Cleghorn Glen with the chance to see badgers, bats, deer and all manner of birds among the towering pine and beech trees. The Mouse Water (pronounced moose) tumbles down along the edge of the farm and has some glorious pools for swimming, shallows for paddling and some spectacular water falls before it joins the River Clyde.

The best farm stays in Flanders Moss National Nature Reserve guide

When to go

Flanders Moss National Nature Reserve has something different to appeal all year round. In spring and summer, the reserve is covered in fluffy white bog cotton and filled with nesting birds. You’re also likely to see reptiles such as frogs, toads and lizards. In fall the color palette changes to rich orange and you can see rutting red deer. Winter is worth a visit for the spectacle of wintering geese roosting on the lake.

Know before you go

  • The bog can be deeper than it looks: Be sure to stick to the boardwalk and paths.
  • Visitors should observe the Scottish Outdoor Access Code, leave no trace and refrain from picking flowers.
  • The closest public bus stop is in Thornhill 2.5 miles (four kilometres) away. The closest train station is Stirling, nine miles (15 kilometres) away.
  • The 3,000-foot (900-metre) boardwalk is accessible for wheelchair users.
