Garry Bog lies to the west of the Bush River directly north of Ballymoney and represents one of the largest remaining areas of uncut lowland raised bog in NI.
The bog lies within the broad river valley, at an elevation between 30m and 40m O.D. It is a reasonably compact site that displays the classic characteristics of a lowland raised bog, including a large, well-developed pool complex and partially intact lagg. Peatland flora includes the bog mosses Sphagnum fuscum, S. imbricatum and S. pulchrum, which is abundant in the pool system.
