Teigngrace Meadow is a fascinating ‘new’ landscape created from the diggings of nearby clay quarries – and a Devon Wildlife Trust reserve. Birds, butterflies and wildflowers jostle for room amongst its meadowland and steep-sided slopes.
The Stover Trail traffic-free path runs through the reserve making this a great place to visit by bike, on horseback or on foot.
This is a fascinating new Devon Wildlife Trust nature reserve. Walk to the top of the hill for wonderful views of Dartmoor and the spectacular industrial landscape of the Bovey Basin.
Head south-east from Bovey Tracey on the multi-use Stover Trail. Having crossed the A38 footbridge, you are in Teigngrace Meadow. Paths into the main body of the reserve are on the right, opposite the cycle stands. The bankside route along the River Bovey starts a bit further on, to the left of the Stover Trail.
Use Ordnance Survey Explorer Map 110 – Torquay and Dawlish to explore this nature reserve.
Wildlife to look out for includes: green-winged orchids, marbled white and dingy skipper butterflies, meadow pipits and skylarks. Walk to the top of the nature reserve’s hill for wonderful views of Dartmoor and the Bovey Basin.
