Opis

Bystock Pools and Squabmoor Reservoir share a car park (free), situated approximately 3 miles North East of the coastal town of Exmouth on the Eastern shore of the Exe Estuary. Bystock Pools Nature Reserve is managed by The Devon Wildlife Trust (since the 1970's), it comprises of 70 acres of Heathland, Wildflower Meadows, Grassland and Woods with Pools and a man made Lake, it is at the Southern edge of the East Devon Pebblebed Heaths.

Squabmoor Reservoir is owned and maintained by The South West Lakes Trust, originally built (1864-1867) as a water supply to the town of Exmouth, is now used as a fishing lake (see WARNING BELOW).

The Bystock Pools area is good for those interested in Butterflies and Moths (Lepidoptera), some species you can expect are, Holly Blue (Celastrina argiolus), Pearl-bordered Fritillary (Boloria euphrosyne), Speckled Wood (Pararge aegeria) and Silver-studded Blue (Plebejus argus). On dark evenings Common Glow Worm (Lampyris noctiluca) can be seen. The reserve holds a nationally important population of both pokrzewka kasztanowata and lelek amongst many other bird species.

Dostęp

Leave Exeter towards Clyst St George and follow B3179 to Woodbury, continue on B3179 that merges with the B3180 heading South West towards Budleigh Salterton. This road eventually becomes the B3179 again and passes close to the site, look for a sign to Squabmoor Reservoir on the Left, where there is a car park for both sites. NOTE: if travelling from Budleigh Salterton the Squabmoor Reservoir sign is missing. You pass Bystock Pools on the way to the car park.

NOTE: press STARS on map for more information.

As you can see by map there are extended paths outside of marked route for those with more time, a lot of the surrounding area is 'common land' with free access. NOTE: in the area you may encounter grazing animals.
