Hooe Lake is located in the south east of Plymouth next to Radford Lake and Radford Quarry. The site covers 14 hectares and is privately owned and managed and is accessible to the public. The site is tidal, containing mudflats and open water habitats.
The site is designated as a County Wildlife Site because of the mudflats, a UK Biodiversity Action Plan (UKBAP) priority habitat that's present at low water.

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.
