Moors Lane, south of Feckenham village
Feckenham Wylde Moor preserves a small area of fen peat with dark-water pools, wet scrapes, reedbeds and grazed meadows. The Trust names Little Grebe and Kingfisher at the pools and Reed Bunting among the reeds, giving a clear wetland focus to a visit. Two hides offer settled views, while a marked circular trail covers much of the reserve. Arrive on foot from Feckenham village because Moors Lane has no public parking. The ground stays wet for much of the year, and the Trust warns that the trail can sometimes be impassable.
