Summary

Description
English: Goonhilly Downs Looking south towards Croft Pascoe woods. The dark lumps are not grouse butts but anti glider defences dug during WW2 to defend the military tracking stations on the Down from enemey raids.

The heathland on Goonhilly Downs is part of the Lizard National Nature Reserve, a complex site that extends to some 1600 ha. The reserve is a complex of numerous isolated sites and has two main habitat types: coastal grasslands & heaths and inland heaths.

The Lizard is noted for its rich flora with 18 rare plant species growing in the area. There is a diverse range of heathland and coastal habitats and the heathland supports a diverse collection of heathers including the rare Cornish heath, a type unique to the area and seen in the foreground of this photo.
