Descripción
Noss Mayo is a small village just inland of the coast of South West Devon, on it's Northern edge is Newton Creek an Eastern arm of the Yealm Estuary. On the coast to the South East is Stoke Point, the long distance South West Coast Path runs West from the Point towards the River Yealm Estuary, giving views of the English Channel to the South. The area has a variety of habitats including farmland, village, woodland and estuary as well as the coastal walk. There are numerous starting points with both long and short routes available, the starting points are well served by a number of car parking options (see P's on map and press STARS for more information).
The area is well known for sightings of Escribano Soteño and Curruca Rabilarga on land with Alcatraz Atlántico frequently seen offshore especially with onshore winds. During Spring/Summer/Autumn be sure to check out Brookings Down Wood and Eastern Hill Wood for Passerines. During Autumn/Winter/Spring be sure to check out Estuary as many birds shelter here especially during stormy weather.
