Glenshane/Carn

Large area of intact oceanic blanket bog exhibiting a number of notable structural features including hummock and lawn complexes and a well developed pool system. Associated habitats include wet heath communities on the peripheral flushed slopes and dry heaths on shallower peats over rocky knolls. Species diversity is enhanced by small pockets of scrub and species-rich flushed grassland. A number of notable species are recorded for the blanket bog including Oblong-leaved Sundew and hummock-forming Sphagnum. In addition, because of the diversity and quality of the associated habitats present, Carn / Glenshane Pass also provides an extensive area of undisturbed upland habitat that is very valuable for associated invertebrates, birds and mammals. Breeding Red Grouse have been recorded and there is evidence that Otters frequent the area.
