Description

Baker's Pit (not to be confused with the prehistoric cave system in Devon of the same name) NR is managed by Cornwall Wildlife Trust. The site has a number of Bronze Age Roundhouses more than 4,000 years old. From 1758 - 1942 the area was used for the extraction of china clay, an engine house and a now flooded clay pit are some of the remnants of those days.

Non avian species include Common Lizard (Zootoca vivipara) and Adder (Vipera berus), among Lepidoptera Grayling (Hipparchia semele) can be found.

Engoulevent d'Europe was a former breeder, unfortunately they are rarely seen today. Busard Saint-Martin were once regularly seen in Winter, they do still turn up occasionally. Merle à plastron are now only seen on passage during Spring/Autumn. Whilst most birds are of commoner species, the site is good for Locustelle tachetée during Summer, Faucon émerillon are regular visitors during Winter.

Accès

Bakers Pit is just West of the small village of Nancledra, the B3311 running from Penzance to St Ives passes quite close to the site. Unfortunately like many sites in rural West Cornwall, there are few road signs, so press P on map for directions. Note some roads in the area are extremely narrow but are little used. The small parking area (free) only has room for 3 cars. The circular walk indicated on the map is about 2 km.
