Geography

The {{convert|115.7|ha|acre|adj=on}} SSSI, notified in 1997, is located mainly within the civil parish of St Newlyn East, {{convert|7|km|mi}} south of the town of Newquay. The streams that rise on the site are tributaries of the River Gannel.^[2]^[3] The Downs are also designated a Special Area of Conservation.^[4]

Wildlife and ecology

The soil of the site, deriving from slate-based mudstones and siltstones, is permanently waterlogged in large places. It is the foundation for the largest area in Cornwall of Southern Atlantic wet heath, containing cross-leaved heath (Erica tetralix) and Dorset heath (Erica ciliaris).^[1]
