Widely known as the Lakeland of Ireland, Westmeath is home to one of the few remaining acidic raised bogs in Europe. Scragh Bog Nature Reserve located close to the picturesque setting of Lough Owel is possibly the best illustration in Ireland of the transition from alkaline fen to acidic raised bog. It covers an area almost 23 acres and is of international importance.
