Description
Dodman Point (or locally called The Deadman), is the South Cornwall coasts highest sea cliffs rising up to 374 feet (114 meters), the point is dominated by a 20 foot granite cross, once erected as a religious symbol it is now used as a ship navigational aid. Just inland of the cross is an old coastal watchpoint built in the the late 1700's, living testament to the sensational long distance sea views available here. Whilst the headland is primarily a seawatching point, it does have a good list of landbirds as well such as Fauvette des jardins, Locustelle tachetée, Épervier d'Europe and Fauvette à tête noire. For those seawatching Macreuse noire, Eider à duvet, Plongeon catmarin and passing Océanite tempête, Puffin des Baléares and Labbe pomarin depending on season and weather/wind direction.
