Moseley Bog and Joy’s Wood

Why go

Moseley Bog adds a different landscape to the mill visit at nearby Sarehole. Old trees, fen vegetation and archaeological remains share a compact reserve within the suburbs. Tolkien’s connection gives the walk a literary context, but the woodland and wildlife stand on their own for visitors who want a break from buildings and city-centre streets.

What to look for

• Wet woodland and fen provide contrasting habitats.
• Bronze Age burnt mounds preserve traces of ancient activity.
• Woodland and meadow routes lead through Joy’s Wood.

Useful to know

• Stay on paths and dismount from cycles on boardwalk sections.
• Check the reserve map for routes suitable for your mobility needs.
