Radford Woods covers 38 hectares (that's around 38 full-sized football pitches). It's located in the south-east of Plymouth and is a place where you can relax, walk, play and explore nature. The site is owned and managed by us and comprises meadows, woodlands and marshland which drain into the River Plym at Hooe Lake. The site is made up of a collection of areas including Jennyscombe Wood, Barn Wood, Brixtonhall Plantation, Basinghall Plantation and Buddle Wood. A variety of habitats are present including semi-natural woodland, woodland plantation, grassland, old quarry, still and running 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.
