Breney Common, Protected natural area in Cornwall, England
The reserve spans 824 hectares of varied habitats including inland water bodies, bogs, marshes, heathlands, scrub, humid grasslands, and deciduous woodlands.
The site emerged from two separate protected areas, Red Moor-Breney Common SSSI, which split during the 1986 revision before joining Belowda Beacon SSSI in 2017.
The Cornwall Wildlife Trust manages this reserve as part of the Mid Cornwall Moors, where researchers conduct ecological studies and monitor species populations.
Visitors access the site through local footpaths, including the Saints' Way, with Natural England providing information at their Exeter office.
The reserve contains sixteen different species of dragonflies and damselflies, along with nationally rare plants such as yellow centaury and marsh clubmoss.
