Crag Bank Nature Reserve is 3.7 ha. SSSI comprising calcareous boulder-clay ridges and extensive wet areas of calcareous peaty soil with fen-like vegetation, ditches and a muddy stream. Over 170 species of flowering plant have been recorded in the wet areas, calcareous grassland, scrub and a small wood. A number of plants that are very rare in Lancashire (eg. Pedicularis palustris) occur. Access to the site has been restricted until this summer, and virtually nothing is known of the invertebrates.

Lords Lot is a low-lying wood in close proximity to Carnforth and Lancaster. It’s main feature of interest is the lowland sphagnum bog which exhibits a number of locally important species.  There are good patches of sundew and crossleaved heath and several types of rushes and sedges with a small colony of bog bean. The warm sheltered habitat provided by the surrounding plantation is favourable for breeding Odonata and other insects including a colony of Green Hairstreak butterflies.
