The South Solway Mosses National Nature Reserve lies in the wider area around Wheyrigg; the Wheyrigg Farm bus stop, by contrast, is in the village, on the B5302. This establishes two distinct points of reference for planning: a protected area nearby and a specifically named stop in Wheyrigg. If you are considering the village for a stay, you can separate the question of its landscape setting from the question of suitable bus times.
Raised bogs near Wheyrigg
The South Solway Mosses National Nature Reserve consists of three large lowland raised bogs: Bowness Common, Glasson Moss and Wedholme Flow. It lies in the wider area around Wheyrigg, not within the village. The three names identify the components of the protected area; together, they represent the bogland that makes the surrounding landscape a travel interest. If you take nature into account when choosing a place to stay, this provides a specific regional point of reference and lets you include the reserve as an excursion interest when planning your choice of Wheyrigg.
The National Nature Reserve covers 1,000 hectares of the South Solway Mosses Special Area of Conservation. This figure indicates the portion of the Special Area of Conservation that is part of the reserve. It adds a specific area measurement to the names of the three bogs, linking the description of the surroundings to a clearly defined protected-area relationship.
Wheyrigg Farm bus stop and Route 400
The Wheyrigg Farm bus stop is on the B5302 in Wheyrigg. The following departures towards Silloth Solway St are listed there for Route 400: 06:55, 09:24, 11:24, 13:24, 15:24, 17:29 and 18:29. The list covers several times of day, from early morning until evening; the specific direction and day of travel are always what matter. This lets you plan your journey around a particular stop and a specific route. The times are departures from the stop, not journey durations.
Before travelling, check the current timetable with the operator or the relevant authority, as departure times may change. Pay attention to the day of travel and direction. For your return journey, check the opposite direction separately: the times listed are only for journeys from Wheyrigg Farm towards Silloth Solway St. This will help you avoid planning your return using a departure time for the outward journey.
When looking for a hotel in Wheyrigg, you can weigh up two questions: Is the connection to the bogland in the wider area important for your stay, or is your planning more focused on a particular bus departure? The first consideration concerns the regional surroundings; the second requires checking the route, direction and day of travel. So check the journey times for your specific dates.
