Chat Moss is a large area of peat bog that makes up 30% of the City of Salford, in Greater Manchester, England.[1] It is north of the River Irwell, 5 miles (8 km) to the west of Manchester, and occupies an area of about 10.6 square miles (27.5 km2). The depth of peat varies between 24 feet (7 m) and 30 feet (9 m).

Chat Moss, as it might be recognised today, is thought to be about 7,000 years old, but peat development seems to have begun there with the ending of the last ice age, about 10,000 years ago.[2]
