Ford Moss is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), containing a Scheduled Ancient Monument, located 12 miles south-west of Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland, England. The site is managed by the Northumberland Wildlife Trust and gained its SSSI status in 1968, and in 2005 it was designated a Special Area of Conservation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://publications.naturalengland.org.uk/file/5762197623930880 )〕
==Location and Natural Features==
Ford Moss is bound to the south by the 165 metre high Goatscrag Hill and the west by the 150 metre Blackchester Hill,〔(A Historic Map of the Colliery ) 〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ordnance Survey online – Enter "Ford, Northumberland" )〕 both of which are sandstone formations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=51989 Vol 1 )〕 It is one of two SSSIs located on the Ford & Etal estate〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Ford & Etal Estate website )〕 which were originally two separate estates combined in 1908 when James Joicey, 1st Baron Joicey purchased them both.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of the Estate(s) )〕 Access can be gained by heading south off the B6353 (vehicles must be left at the gate of the site) and although there are a some good footpaths for the general public, permits are required to enter certain parts.〔 The 71.6 hectare site, situated around 110 metres above sea level, is made up partly (46 hectares) of a raised bog of peat, which is up to 12 metres deep in places and underlain by carboniferous limestone some 363 to 325 million years ago. The bog, or mire, was a rainfed lake at some point in its history of which the build up of vegetation outstripped that of decomposition, giving it its 'raised' aspect.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A paper on the Border Uplands Natural Area )〕 A report to the Government Office of the North East (GONE) stated that "''although partly drained, the re-wetted surface contains many waterlogged areas,''" that "''the water table should normally be within 25cm of the surface''" and that the water quality was "''good.''"〔(The 2006 report prepared by Treweek Environmental Consultants )〕 Flora include heather, cotton grass, hares tail and cross-leaved heath and fauna to be found are red squirrels, roe deer, curlew, red grouse and adders amongst others.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Northumberland Wildlife Trust Website )〕 The first Northumberian sightings of the solitary bee "''Colletes succinctus''" were made around the bog in 2007. To the south of the bog is found ancient woodland containing Scots Pine, birch and willow trees.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A brief file giving some basic facts from English Nature.org )〕
