Devon SSSI nature reserve and eco lodges

Maggie's blog - 2008 archive

We run our Devon farm wildlife. A third of the farm is a site of special scientific interest (SSSI). This national designation marks Popehouse Moor out as amongst the best sites for culm grassland wildlife in the UK. Guests at our lodges and cottage are welcome to explore - and we can almost always make time to give you a guided tour. This blog is about what's going on on the moor and around the farm as we strive to make it even better for our dormice, badgers, foxes, owls, orchids....

We're proud to have gold level approval from both the Devon Wildlife Trust and the Green Tourism Businesss Scheme
