Brownsham Moor

This Grassland has an excellent mixture of habitats, including wet heath and scrubby woodland, bog plant, purple moor grass and rush pasture.

It supports a myriad of birdlife (barn owls, curlew and snipe), insects (marbled white, dingy skipper and the very rare marsh fritillary butterflies) and also many uncommon plant species, notably yellow bartsia, the Cornish moneywort, several rare orchids (including the lesser butterfly), wavy St John’s wort and the Devon whitebeam tree.
