The staycations of the future – from Morecambe to Grimsby
Called “Patagonia in miniature” by Telegraph Travel writer Chris Moss, the Flow Country, in the very north of Scotland, is a fascinating place to visit regardless of its status. And Unesco has just recognised that by making it, officially, a World Heritage Site. The accreditation is only awarded to places of special scientific, historical or cultural interest, putting it on a par with places such as the Great Barrier Reef and the pyramids of Giza. It is, undeniably, special: the largest area of blanket bog in the world, the landscape is carpeted with a layer of moss that reaches, in some places, up to 30ft deep. It’s home to a fascinating range of wildlife, too, including short-eared owls, water voles and otters. The accreditation will grant it a certain level of protection, ensuring future generations can explore its strange, marshy expanse.
Where to stay
Garvault House is “Britain’s most remote hotel”, and a perfect off-grid spot from which to explore the Flow Country. Rooms start at £155 per night.
