イーストポートルマスの天然記念物・トップ9

The former house and gardens of the chemist and inventor Otto Overbeck now belong to the National Trust. The eccentric Otto designed, among other things, the "rejuvenation apparatus". Electrodes were attached to the body and were supposed to work wonders. These and many other oddities can be admired in Overbeck's when the house is open. At the moment it is not because of renovation work! But the gardens are fantastically beautiful and worth a visit on their own. They exude southern charm - visitors almost forget that they are in England. There are only a few parking spaces, so it is better to walk here. Good food is available at the Gastrobus, where you can borrow a basket and enjoy the food in the beautiful garden. Very stylish! We have been here a few times over the years and have always been totally impressed

The jagged coastline of the South Hams is a notorious ‘ship trap’, which it’s said was exploited by unscrupulous ‘wreckers’ who would lure vessels to their doom. The fables are likely somewhat exaggerated, but a walk from East Prawle to Prawle Point is full of drama, mystery and stunning, fangy sea-rocks.

Slapton Sands is an extremely picturesque beach that stretches for almost 2 miles (3.2 km) from Strete Gate to the village of Torcross. Slapton Ley is Devon’s largest natural freshwater lake and is a National Nature Reserve due to it having many rare species of plants and birds. Slapton Sands plays an important part in the survival of some of the UK’s rarest flora and fauna.

The coastline around Prawle is one of the most beautiful stretches in Devon, and marks the southernmost point in the county. Prawle Point is a haven for bird watchers. Migrant birds arrive here first in the spring and gather here before their long flights in the autumn. Keep a look-out for buzzards, ravens, hawks, cirl bunting, and nightingales. The whole stretch of the coastline from Mill Bay to Start Point is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and most of it is owned by the National Trust.

South Sands is one of the most unspoilt beaches in South Devon. It’s located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the mouth of the estuary. South Sands is actually part of a cove so is sheltered from the sea winds and affords a delightful sun trap if you want to relax.
