About Featherbed Moss
Featherbed Moss has a flat top and no trees. It is covered in moist, peaty moorland plants. "Peaty" means the ground is made of peat, which is partly decayed plant matter. This makes the ground soft and spongy.
The hill is located south of Chew Reservoir. To the south, the land slopes down towards Torside Reservoir. To the east, it drops into a deep valley called the Crowden Great Brook. The famous Pennine Way walking path runs through this valley.
