  • Croyde Bay, North Devon
    CROYDE BAY, NORTH DEVON. Grid Ref: SS 43 49 A BEACH PROFILE UNDERTAKEN FOR COASTWISE NORTH DEVON Paul and Ro Madgett 2008 SUMMARY Situated between Saunton Sands and Woolacombe/Putsborough Sands. West-facing sandy beach, backed by dunes and with the rocky headlands of Downend and Baggy Point to the South and North respectively. The rocky shore is excellent for wildlife and includes features such as Sabellaria (fan- worm) reefs, sea hares and sea anemones (including some rare species). Cowrie shells can be found in sandy gullies with careful hunting. One of the best beaches in the UK for experienced surfers, but occasional rip currents - not ideal for learners. Lifeguards present during main season. Good parking and toilets. Seasonal refreshments by main beach entrance and year- round in village. Croyde Bay and Baggy Point, from top of Croyde Burrows DETAIL OF LOCATION AND FACILITIES Croyde Bay, in the parish of Georgeham, is a ½ mile wide west-facing sandy beach sandwiched between the rocky headlands of Downend to the south and Baggy Point to the north. Above these rocky shore platforms, soft rock cliffs rise away from the beach. At the back of the beach, to the east, are sizeable sand dunes (Croyde Burrows) which were stabilised by marram grass some years ago, and through which various footpaths run. The South West Long Distance Path crosses the beach at the base of the dunes. The entire area of Croyde Sands (down to LWM), the dunes, and rocky foreshore to south and north (as far as the parish boundary on Downend, and “Polly’s Gully” along Baggy Point) is in private ownership – at the time of writing (October 2008) understood to be Parkdean Estates, the owners also of the Ruda Caravan Park, the time-share apartments to the north of the beach, plus the chalets and the seasonal camping fields behind the dunes.

Recommendation: It is recommended that no Modification Orders be made in respect of Proposals 22 and 28, as shown on drawings HTM/PROW/13/48 and HTM/PROW/13/54. 1. Summary This report examines two Schedule 14 applications arising from Definitive Map Review in the Parish of Georgeham in the District of North Devon. Six proposals were previously reported to the June 2013 Committee, while a further eight proposals were previously reported to the March 1999 Committee and another ten proposals to the September 2002 Committee. The remaining proposal will be referred to a subsequent Committee meeting. 2. Background The original survey under s. 27 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 revealed 21 footpaths and 2 bridleways in Georgeham, which were recorded on the Definitive Map and Statement, with a relevant date of 1 September 1957. The review of the Definitive Map, under s. 33 of the 1949 Act, which commenced in the late 1960s but was never completed, produced a number of proposals for change to the Definitive Map at that time. The Limited Special Review of RUPPs, carried out in the 1970s, did not affect the parish. The following Agreements and Orders have been made: Footpath No. 32, Georgeham Public Path Creation Agreement and Deed of Dedication; Devon County Council (Footpath No.

Analysis of long-term effort-related land-based observations to identify whether coastal areas of harbour porpoise and bottlenose dolphin have persistent high occurrence & abundance. JNCC report No. 543, JNCC, Peterborough. Summary Dedicated shore watches for cetaceans have been conducted at a number of sites around the UK since 1965. Here, over 75,000 hours of watches and c50,000 associated sightings of bottlenose dolphin and harbour porpoise from 678 sites around the coasts of Britain are analysed, in order to determine whether areas of persistent high occurrence and relative abundance of the two species can be identified. Average sightings rates (sightings per unit hour of search) and count rates (animals per unit hour of search) were calculated from each site over the full time period that watches were conducted. For use in statistical modelling, results were summarised by site and by day (thus eliminating within-day autocorrelation), and records associated with high Beaufort ‘sea state’ and short observation duration were filtered out.
