Devil's Point is located in the south west of Plymouth, on the coast at the south end of Durnford Street. The 3.5 hectares site is owned by the Ministry of Defence and managed by us and is accessible to the public. A variety of habitats are present including cliffs, grassland and boulders/rocks.
The site is designated as a County Wildlife Site because of the presence of field eryngo, a nationally notable plant species and 11 Devon notable plant species found on the low limestone cliffs and coastal grassland including wild clary and garden parsley. Devil's Point is also part of Western King Site of Special Scientific Interest.

County Wildlife Sites (CWS) are areas of land that are rich in wildlife such as a tract of heath, a meadow, a copse or a village pond. In general, at least five Devon notable plant species are required for the creation of a CWS but other criteria such as wintering bird interest may be used. For more detailed information on CWS contact Devon Biodiversity Records Centre. Some of our CWS are private with no access, please refer to individual site descriptions for access details.
