Description

Charmouth is set amongst some of the highest sea cliffs on the South coast of England, some of which are over 600 foot high, the area is renowned for fossils and is part of the Jurassic Coast. The River Char runs through the village and has Martin-pêcheur d'Europe, Cincle plongeur and Bergeronnette des ruisseaux. The shingle area at the mouth of the River had a Bécasseau de Temminck in the past. The small area of reedbeds (Press STAR on map) between the seafront car parks, hold Bruant des roseaux, Rousserolle effarvatte and can have Râle d'eau, Bécassine des marais and the occasional Bécassine sourde. The car parks in this area can have a large pre-roost gathering of Bergeronnette de Yarrell in late afternoons during Winter months, whilst Faucon pèlerin, Grand Corbeau, Tarier pâtre and Pipit maritime are resident. On beaches waders are only to be found in smaller numbers Grand Gravelot, Huîtrier pie and Tournepierre à collier being the most common.

WARNING. Due to erosion, cliff falls can happen at any time, walking near cliff edges and at the base of cliffs can be TREACHEROUS.
