Description

Pig's Nose Valley runs North East to South West, the stream (empties into the sea near Venerick's Cove) has a public footpath running it's full length and is lined with trees/shrubs and thickets only opening up nearer the coast. The area has had Nearctic species such as zelenáček červenooký in the past, so diligent checking of the area may be worthwhile. The shrub/thicket is so dense that watching from the footpath is advised.

Access

The main road (A379) between the town of Kingsbridge and Dartmouth is to the North, from this main road head South at Chillington or Frogmore on minor roads signed East Prawle/Prawle Point. Just as you reach the village of East Prawle you pass a pond (very close to road on the Right) surrounded by trees/shrubs that's worth checking (park carefully). Continue on this road and turn Right beside large building, continue on this road, stopping at gateways to check fields. The start of Pig's Nose Valley footpath is on a sharp Right hand bend further along this same road, park up (carefully not blocking access) or on grass verge just before sharp bend and walk down valley footpath.
