This is Torbay's most important wildlife site and one of England's 200 National Nature Reserves. There are several species of rare and threatened plants growing at Berry Head which are dependant upon the thin soils, mild climate and exposed conditions of the headland which drops sheer down into the sea. Berry head is also home to a variety of birds (including a Guillemot colony) bats, (a colony of the endangered Greater Horseshoe Bats reside in the caves below) and also moths, dragonfly and butterflies. This is also the site of two Napoleonic war era fortifications, constructed between 1795 and 1806, which are among the best preserved in the country and are protected as an ancient Monument. There is a Visitor Centre and a cafe for snacks and ice cream, open during Easter to end of October from 10am - 6pm. Admission to Berry Head is free, there is a pay and display car park. The site has disabled access and is accessible by public transport.
