Blairvault Burn and Pappert Muir, site size 138 ha, grid reference NS 41500 80500 Both sites are known to provide an important wildlife corridor to other moorland sites nearby. A variety of UKBAP priority habitats are present within this large site including blanket bog, fen and upland calcareous grassland. The habitats are mainly semi-natural, although subject to heavy impacts from grazing and trampling, especially towards the west. Due to the types of habitats present it is assumed that species diversity is moderate to high at the site.

Bonhill Muir and Pappert Hill, site size 200 ha, grid reference NS 42000 80000 The site is largely an area of failed conifer plantation, but now a valuable suite of moorland habitats. The most valuable habitat type is wet heath, plus areas of dry heath and blanket bog, which are also good or in a recovering condition. There are small but important fragments of UKBAP priority habitats present, including upland heath, blanket bog.

Carman Muir, site size 190 ha, grid reference NS 37500 78500 This diverse area of open moorland is grazed by cattle and sheep and has a range of habitats that are typical to western Scotland. Wide areas of wet heath cover the gradual slopes, dissected by acid flushes feeding small burns. Locally in small hollows patches of blanket bog occur. Steeper slopes are better drained and support dry heath, but these areas are preferentially grazed and often converted to acid grassland, or invaded by bracken. Grazing of wetter areas has created rush-pasture, particularly where contiguous with adjoining enclosed pastures. Small woodlands of oak and birch, with many small but mature trees, and stands of gorse scrub occupy the steep slopes along burns. The woodlands often continue through the enclosed areas and provide a network for wildlife to move between habitats. Carman Reservoir as well as three ponds is within the site with associated marginal swamp vegetation and poor-fens with a few tall herbs. The entire site is open rough pasturage for sheep and cattle, and the heathlands are burnt in small patches to rejuvenate the grazing value. The site is well managed and supports an intricate pattern of moorland habitats including the UKBAP priority habitats upland heathland, fen, blanket bog and rush-pasture as well as a variety of birds and Green hairstreak butterflys.

Dillipchip Grassland, site size 6.1 ha, grid reference NS 39416 79033 This site is adjacent the River Leven and is derelict land. Due to natural succession a range of habitats are present including ruderal vegetation, rank grassland and poor fen and the UKBAP priority habitat wet woodland in the form of willow scrub. Dillichip Grasslands acts as an important stepping stone of semi-natural habitats for the movement of wildlife and links and augments the habitats of Cordale point and woods to the north in an area of housing, warehouses and playing fields.

Fishers Wood and Boathouse Wood, site size 4 ha, grid reference NS 39451 81233 An area of broadleaved woodland with old oak trees, scrub, open areas of rough grassland. Much of wood is birch and sycamore regeneration with an impoverished ground flora.

Mullour, site size unkown although lies within Overtoun Muir, grid reference NS 37400 80300 Mullour is a small area of heath and mire within Overton Muir (see above). This site is moderately grazed by sheep and also periodically burnt. Within the site are the UKBAP priority habitat blanket bog and heath. Within the site are typical marginal upland habitats including a small burn with woodland along it. It has been identified as having a reduced botanical diversity, but the habitats are fundamentally intact providing suitable architectural structure for familiar moorland birds and invertebrates.

This site is an important wildlife corridor with the UKBAP priority habitats upland heath, fen and blanket bog; acid grassland, bog and rush pastures are also present. Although botanically impoverished by long grazing and burning these communities still provide the structural habitat for breeding and passage birds, and invertebrates. Green hairstreak butterflies (Callophrys rubi) have been recorded at both Bromley Muir and Overtoun Muir NS367803. Additioanlly, these slopes of the sites are well linked to Alexandria Woods 1 and 2 described above.

Pappert Wood and Bonhill Quarry, site size 7 ha, grid reference NS 40500 79600 This woodland is botanically diverse with the UKBAP priority habitats upland oakwood and upland mixed ashwood. Due to the diverse ground flora, bryophytes and structure fo the woodland it is thought to be good for breeding birds and invertebrtaes.

Poachy Glen, site size 6 ha, grid reference NS 38139 79130 The deciduous woodland present at this glen has a moderately botanically diverse ground flora with a good structure for breeding birds and invertebrtaes. The UKBAP priority habitats upland oakwood and upland mixed ashwood are present.
