Warren Point is located in the north west of Plymouth adjacent to the River Tamar. The site consists of a semi-circular route bordering an industrial site and boasts breathtaking views of the Tamar Estuary. The site covers 4.4 hectares and is owned and managed by us and is accessible to the public. A variety of habitats are present including woodlands, grassland and small areas of saltmarsh.

The site is designated as a County Wildlife Site because of the 18 ancient woodland vascular plant indicators recorded in the woodland and the 12 Devon notable plant species recorded in the area of saltmarsh.

Species include: Sea aster, Sea purslane, Sea couch grass, English scurvy grass, Saltmarsh rush, Common saltmarsh grass, Glasswort, Greater sea spurrey, Annual seablite, Orpine, Lesser sea spurrey, Red goosefoot

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.
