The 'moss' in Brown Moss actually refers to a peat bog rather than any particularly mossy nature. This reserve is teeming with wildlife from insects to birds and has several walking trails criss-crossing its modest expanse. Largely a marsh and wetland area, some of the residents here include great-crested newts, dragonflies and frogs. This is one of the country's most important reserves for plant species too, so come with keen eyes, ready to spot unusual flora.

Unlike Roundthorn Bridge just to the north east, Morris' Bridge lifts via a hand-operated windlass. Sitting just above the water level, it's a remarkable experience to watch the bridge lift and allow a canal boat underneath. Built around 1800, the bridge has enjoyed renovations but largely remains in its original form.

Built around 1800, this is a roving bridge spanning the Llangollen Canal. Roving bridges are canal bridges designed to allow horses to cross the canal when the towpath switches from one side to the other. A Grade II-listed structure, this historic bridge is one of many fascinating spans on the canal.
