Attraction Information
Berry Head National Nature Reserve stands at the Southern tip of Tor Bay with cliffs reaching 60 metres (20 feet) high!
An exceptional location for wildlife, from rare plants and insects to the guillemot colony a thousand strong. Keep an eye out for the small blue butterfly, several orchid species and the white rock rose. You can also see dolphins and porpoises, plus birds such as the peregrine falcon.
The headland is made up of limestone over 400 million years old and full of fossils that show the changes that have taken place over time. Great for any budding little geologists.
While walking on the Head, you can explore the remains of two Napoleonic forts, a lighthouse, a quarry and a bird hide so there is lots to see.
The Visitor Centre, which is staffed by volunteers, features displays about the history and wildlife of the headland. There are also activities for the kids, including trails to follow and films to watch.
