Dawlish Warren National Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Dawlish Warren, Devon, England

The reserve stretches across a sand spit at the mouth of the Exe Estuary, featuring dunes, meadows, saltmarsh, and diverse coastal habitats.

The site gained protection status as a Local Nature Reserve in 1978 and received National Nature Reserve designation in 2000 for its conservation importance.

The reserve attracts numerous researchers and naturalists who study the 180 bird species and 600 flowering plant varieties documented annually.

A visitor center operates from April to September, offering educational displays about local wildlife and maintaining restricted access to protect sensitive ecological areas.

The location houses one of only two populations of sand crocus in Britain and provides shelter for the endangered petalwort liverwort species.
