Mossflower Forest

Mossflower Forest is an imaginary woodland created by Brian Jacques. It is a wide expanse of trees and shrubs that makes up most of the world of Redwall. A wide path winds throughout and goes by the fabled Abbey of Redwall itself. It separates the abbey from a wide expanse of flatlands, and it is bordered by a long ditch. Through the forest there is a large river - the River Moss. This is a way of travel for the shrews and otters, plus other river-dwelling folk, and supplies the wide expanses of Mossflower with water. The forest goes almost to the shore of the great sea on its western side. North, it goes on and on until it is too cold for trees to survive. In the far south, the woodland goes practically forever. In the woodland, there are thousands of minor landmarks, such as watermeadows, huge rocks, a farm house, the church of Saint Ninian's, a rock quarry full of adders, minor tributaries of the River Moss, and countless others. Brian Jacques truly depicts a wonderful place in his books.
