From the Wikipedia article

Hetton Bogs is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) within the Sunderland district of Tyne and Wear, England. It is located 1 km (0.62 mi) north of the town of Hetton-le-Hole. This area is protected because of the diversity of plant species present within fen habitat. The fen habitat receives water from two streams: Hetton Burn and Rainton Burn. These provide base-rich waters from the escarpment composed of Magnesian Limestone.
