Burley Moor climbs steeply above Burley Woodhead to a high moorland plateau of heather and bracken. The moorland faces east and is best approach from the track up Coldstone Beck. This side of the Moor is an excellent place to see Curlew, Lapwing and Linnet as well as the well established Meadow Pipit. Look out for Ring Ouzel and the possibility of Short-eared Owl. Dotterel have been seen on the highest point of the moor as they rest before making their way further north.
