For birdwatchers Slapton Ley National Nature Reserve  is less than a mile away. Designated a site of Special Scientific Interest it is recognised as a wetland with an important place in Britain's natural heritage. The main feature is the Lower Ley, which is the largest natural lake in south-west England. Although it is only separated from the sea by a narrow shingle bar, it is entirely freshwater.
