Askham Bog is an area of peat bog in the Vale of York in North Yorkshire, England, south of the city of York, north of Copmanthorpe and close to Askham Bryan and Askham Richard.
Part of the bog is maintained by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust as a nature reserve and is their oldest reserve.
Famous quotes containing the word bog:
“Our Bog is dood, our Bog is dood,
They lisped in accents mild,
But when I asked them to explain
They grew a little wild.”
—Stevie Smith (1902–1971)
