Green Plymouth

Did you know over a third of the city is covered with green –parks, open spaces, nature reserves and woodlands. 

With a stunning marine environment lapping on our shore, a national park to the north and three areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty on our doorstep, that’s a lot of nature!’

Local Nature Reserves. Plymouth has 8 public nature reserves that you can visit any time.  There’s something different to experience every season, frog spawn in the Spring, butterflies in the Summer, wild mushrooms in the autumn and a range of over-wintering birds. 

Maps, nature facts and more on Plymouth’s nature conservation pages can be found here
