Emmer Bog Stroll Romsey
Su 388219 About 2.5 Milesdespite Its Name, This Amble In December Is Less Muddy Than The Ones In Local Woods. This Is Because The Path Takes You Around The Edge Of The Bog And Some Of It Is Along Board Walks. The Centre Is An Internationally Important Lowland Bog With Many Rare Plants And Animals. However, The Fact That The Path Follows The Border Means That The Interior Remains Safe And The Dog Can Walk Without Risk To Wildlife. The First Part Of The Walk Is A Bit Of A Dog Walking Highway, However Few Seem To Venture Into Emer Bog. 5 Winchester Rd Romsey Lancashire SO51 9AL 2.39 miles On The Outskirts Of Romsey, Near Southampton.
