Brackagh Bog
Image: © Robert Ashby Taken: 4 May 2015
A small area of wetland - in this case with added water from recent heavy rain - to the south of Portadown, the result of 200 years of peat extraction. Bounded by the River Bann to the east and the housing developments on slightly higher ground on the Tandragee Road to the west with the Belfast-Dublin railway line running across on a raised embankment just visible between the flood-water and the slightly higher housing.
