Stokenham Important Plant Area is potentially our smallest IPA site covering around two acres. It is located near Widdecombe House in rural Devon, to the south of Stokenham and west of Torcross. The site includes a row of mature sycamore trees and a boundary wall which support a rich lichen population, some of which are nationally rare.

Part of the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Wembury Point to Erme Estuary IPA comprises approximately 15 km of cliff-dominated coastline, to the east of Plymouth Sound, including the mouth of the River Yealm. Low cliffs rise to 50 m, with adjacent cliff slopes up to 100 m in height. This small site supports several important and rare vascular plants. Localised freshwater seepage onto raised beach platforms along the base of the cliffline provides the ideal habitat for the internationally-rare shore dock, here in its second largest rocky shoreline colony in the UK. This stretch of the south Devon coast includes four sites for shore dock and, at the mouths of the rivers Tamar and the Yealm, the now scarce eelgrass. Dotted sedge occurs at its only Devon site at Wadham Rocks.

This rocky clifftop IPA stretches to the west and east of Salcombe from Bolt Tail to Start Point and lies within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The rocky coastline forms one of the best examples of vegetated Atlantic sea cliffs in the UK and is characterised by sandy coves and headlands. The land is managed by the National Trust and there are many coastal footpaths to explore. Bolt Tail is the site of an Iron Age Fort and from here Burgh Island can be seen across Bigbury Bay. The lighthouse at Start Point has guided ships along this treacherous coast for 150 years.

A Devon Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve
A beautiful patchwork of woodland and meadows in the heart of the wonderful South Hams countryside.
Andrew's Wood is a perfect slice of the beautiful South Hams landscape. From the top of the reserve views stretch over the undulating hills as far as the eye can see.
The nature reserve holds a secret. In the 19th century Andrew's Wood was known as Stanton Moor. In those times it looked very different with scattered farms, open fields and few trees. Today's landscape is a comparatively new one.
