Cors Goch, Carmarthenshire

Cors Goch

Cors Goch is a bogland found in Carmarthenshire, a couple of miles west of Carmarthen and near the hamlet of Llanllwch, is one of the few raised bogs in these western shires: it is denoted as a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and is preserved as a nature reserve.

Formed through the accumulation of the remains of plants, and later on peat, it reaches a depth of 16 feet in some places. Its various types of wet and dry habitats are home to a wealth of wildlife, from insect-eating intermediate sundews, to buzzards and kestrels.
