Freshney Forest

Freshney Bog is a small site in North Lincolnshire of less than 10 ha. It was listed as a nature reserve due to its 'blow wells' - artesian springs bubbling through the peat which formed circular pools. It is now managed by North East Lincolnshire Council. The distinctive blow wells are gone and the bog itself was completely destroyed when it was turned into a municipal rubbish dump. However the Council are now undertaking some management to restore the site.
