Geography
[ edit ]
The 115.7-hectare (286-acre) SSSI, notified in 1997, is located mainly within the civil parish of St Newlyn East , 7 kilometres (4.3 mi ) south of the town of Newquay . The streams that rise on the site are tributaries of the River Gannel .[2] [3] The Downs are also designated a Special Area of Conservation .[4]
Wildlife and ecology
[ edit ]
The soil of the site, deriving from slate -based mudstones and siltstones , is permanently waterlogged in large places. It is the foundation for the largest area in Cornwall of Southern Atlantic wet heath, containing cross-leaved heath (Erica tetralix ) and Dorset heath (Erica ciliaris ).[1]
