400 MILLION YEARS IN THE MAKING AND THE STORY CONTINUES...

Berry Head National Nature Reserve guards the southern half of Torbay. One of the Gateways to the English Riviera Global Geopark, it is an internationally-acclaimed heritage site, home to a fascinating variety of wildlife and history, with recently restored Napoleonic-War fortifications. Enjoy the stunning views and superb local food at our new Guardhouse Cafe, visit our brand-new Visitor Centre or one of our events, and walk the ramparts as the soldiers did 200 years ago.
