The word Pow comes from Old English and means ‘slow moving stream’, which refers to a waterlogged boggy area at the site.
It's this 'waterlogged, boggy area' that provides Pow Hill Country Park with one of its key draws: the bog contains specialised plants such as bog asphodel, bog bean, cotton grass, ragged robin and marsh thistle, and has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
