East Devon Pebblebed Heaths

[3] The majority of the 1,124.4 hectares (2,778 acres) of the heath is managed with joint financial input from Clinton Devon Estates, government grants and the East Devon Pebblebed Heaths Conservation Trust, which employs full-time wardens and volunteers to look after the terrain.

The Estate opened the heathland to public access "for air and exercise" following a legal deed it signed in 1930.

[4] Parts of the land designated as the East Devon Pebblebed Heaths SSSI are owned by the Ministry of Defence (Woodbury Common) and parts are owned by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.

[1] Notable breeding bird species that have been recorded on the site include the European nightjar, Eurasian hobby and Dartford warbler.

Other insects recorded include the bog bush cricket.
