South of Week St Mary
Greena Moor preserves rare rhos pasture south of Week St Mary, offering a grassland birding stop away from Cornwall's better-known coast. Cornwall Wildlife Trust names Skylark and Meadow Pipit among its ground-nesting birds, and specifically describes Snipe feeding here in summer. The waymarked George Harris Trail crosses the reserve's surviving moorland landscape, with wildflowers and butterflies adding interest during the operator's recommended April to August visiting period. This is a modest walking stop through wet, grazed habitat, rather than a hide-based wetland visit. Keep to the established trail and leave dogs at home.
