The boardwalk and the Lindow Man Find Site viewing platform are nearly complete! Pete & Ryan have completed what they can of the boardwalk and it is looking great! 🥳 The information board & timeline will go on as soon as they arrive, and then the whole thing is done! It’s been a monumental effort getting to this stage, just one final push to the finish line 💪 The whole thing has been designed and led by volunteers and a generous grant from the National Heritage Lottery Fund

For years the local community have campaigned to have something to mark the spot where Lindow man was found, and it’s finally happening 🥳 The boardwalk will be a raised platform up to the find site and will include a timeline dating back 3000 years as well as two information boards on Lindow Man and peat. The whole thing has been designed and led by volunteers and a generous grant from the National Heritage Lottery Fund 💚 Watch this space 👀

Join John Handley OBE for a tour of the restoration work that is currently taking place. On June 4th, 2025, Cheshire East Planning gave the green light for two vital planning applications, 24/0920D and 24/2020D, to restore an additional six compartments of the cutover peat bog at Lindow Moss. At the start of February, the owners of Lindow Moss started to move ahead with their restoration work, a project that will slow the release of CO₂ from the bog and, over time, transform

The Lindow Moss Landscape Partnership has just published the 2025 annual report! Grab a brew, take a seat, and have a look at what the Lindow Moss Landscape Parternship achieved over 2025.

We have been asked to update you with areas of the Moss that have been marked as CLOSED while restoration work is carried out. Please do comply with the signs while this is taking place. Work this week is on the sand island (shown on the compartment map below as Compartment 2). Signs have been posted by Terraqueous Ltd, who are carrying out the work on behalf of Croghan Peat, explaining the importance of taking care around the work areas and, even more importantly, heavy ma

Some of you may already be aware that work has started this week, on Lindow Moss, as part of the restoration and regeneration plans. Signs have been posted by Terraqueous Ltd, who are carrying out the work on behalf of Croghan Peat, explaining the importance of taking care around the work areas and, even more importantly, heavy machinery. Some parts of the bog may be temporarily closed for health and safety while this work is carried out and it is vital that dogs are kept on

Licensed bird ringers Charlie & Ingrid had a very busy 2025 on Lindow. The ringing consisted of 5am starts, using nets to capture the birds, and in one case they worked through the night using thermal imaging! Having this data is so important as we can now see what is new and what is returning to Lindow year on year. The ringing is supported by a generous grant from the Cheshire and Wirral Ornithological Society and no birds were harmed during the ringing process!

The West Pennines Bird ringing group has been ringing birds at Lindow since March this year, helping us to understand how species use the site. Ringing birds helps scientists to understand movement of individuals and species on migration, as well as helping monitor breeding, survival and populations. Last week, licensed ringers found this (lesser) Redpoll (Acanthis flammea cabaret) which already had a ring on its leg. It hatched in 2023 and was ringed on 4th November 2023 at

These two photos were taken on the 26th May 1989 by Gordon Edgar. Gordan explained ‘The Wilmslow operation demanded two sets of four wagons, one rake being propelled to the moss empty after discharge, and a loaded rake made up on the moss in the intervening time, subsequently being drawn back to the mill’s tippler, with just one loco required in use at any given time’ 😱 In 1997, the current owners bought the site from Middlebrook Mushrooms and the railway finally closed in O
