Access Banned

The park is a designated SSSI and is owned and managed by The National Trust, it is home to a great diversity of plant and wildlife. In order to protect these species there is no public access to the actual woods although a footpath does run around the lower north end of the park. There is a species of rare lichen found in the woods called Bacidia incompta otherwise known as the Sap Grove lichen, there are only three other sites in the whole of Devon where this species can be found. Other rarities to be found in the old park are the High Brown Fritillary butterfly. A beetle known as Conopalpus testaceus (found only at one more site in Devon) and two other rare lichens known as Schismatomma graphidioides and Collema fragrans. 

The L to R traverse of the steep side of The Thoracic Boulder. Really pumpy and well balanced. Save a little for the end - gets pumpier as it gets easier. Start standing (for now) to the L of the boulder with L hand on lowish sidepull, R on sloper. Finish with a tiring mantle once the arête has been turned.
