UK»England»Devon»Colyford Common

Colyford Common is an important wetland site on the Axe estuary. Being regularly flooded by high tides, this salt marsh has a very unusual flora and fauna, supporting many locally rare and nationally important species.


The viewing platform offers fantastic views across the upper reaches of the estuary and surrounding saltmarsh. Little egrets fish in the creeks and lagoons on the estuary and large black and white shelduck can be seen grazing on the Local Nature Reserve.
