Berry Head Nature Reserve
South West
Brixham

A stunning headland nature reserve, with sea on three sides, fantastic views, rare wildlife and a well-preserved Napoleonic Fort

This stunning headland, with its iconic lighthouse and Napoleonic Fort, is surrounded by water on three sides and offers exceptional views across Torbay and beyond. You can enjoy some superb coastal walks, spot wildlife on land and at sea, or simply relax in the award-winning Guardhouse Café.

Our Visitor Centre will tell you all about the Reserve, its history, wildlife and the work of Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust. Do check for opening times during off-peak season.

This is a must-visit day out and is either a pleasant walk from Brixham or short drive to the visitor car park. Dogs are very welcome throughout the site; leads are required in certain areas.
