Halvana Plantation

Cornwall being a major holiday destination in the Summer, has two main routes into the county, the A38 via the M1 motorway far to the South and the long distance A30 'The Highway to the Sun' running just to the North West of the site. It is often said the thousands of car drivers heading towards the beaches of Cornwall have no idea of the existence of Halvana, their loss is the birdwatchers gain.

Halvana Plantation, infrequently visited by birdwatchers, is a Forestry Commission conifer woodland, one of the largest in Cornwall. BE AWARE it is an active woodland, some areas may be closed off for logging activities. The area to the East is open moorland with free access (press STARS on map). Flocks of (Ευρωπαϊκό) Βροχοπούλι are often seen in Winter, (Κοινό) Μπεκατσίνι, (Ευρασιατική) Τουρλίδα and other moorland species are often present in the Summer. The area to the North and Northwest sides are open agricultural fields with livestock. The road near the parking places (Do Not Block Gateways) has hedges and more deciduous trees.
