Hawk and Owl Trust | Shapwick | Shapwick Moor Nature Reserve

Welcome to Shapwick Moor Nature Reserve

Shapwick Moor, on the Somerset Levels, was previously farmed for a variety of arable crops.

The Hawk and Owl Trust is restoring it to flower-rich, semi-natural grassland.

Some land is being restored to fen. Rough grass margins will encourage owls and other birds of prey and the small mammals they feed on. It is open year round and accessible by public and permissive paths.

Shapwick Moor forms part of the Avalon Marshes network of reserves.
