UK Peatlands | IUCN UK Peatland Programme
Peat has been forming across comparably wetter and more topographically variable UK uplands (as oppose to lowlands) for about 5-6,000 years creating landscapes where peat depth can vary from a few centimetres to an average maximum peat depth of 6 metres within a distance of less than 50-100 metres.

LandIS - Land Information System - National Soil Map - Lowland Peat
The Lowland Peat project describes the peat soils and surface peat deposits of lowland England and Wales, below 200 m O.D. Peat is a fragile natural resource that takes as much as 2,000 years to build up to a metre in thickness. However, when claimed for use by man, peatlands are rapidly destroyed.
