Yarner Wood
A wonderful National Nature Reserve which includes three adjacent reserves – Yarner Wood, Trendlebere Down and the Bovey Valley Woodlands near the town of Bovey Tracey. You can walk along a magical boulder-strewn valley in the Bovey Valley or follow an excellent walking trail through an example of western oakwood of international importance in Yarner Wood. The rare Dormouse and Pied Flycatchers (which are summer visitors) live here. Trendlebere Down, an area of nationally rare lowland heathland, provides further diversity. All are well worth a visit!
