NCI PRAWLE POINT FEATURES IN CORNWALL & DEVON WALKS WITH JULIA BRADBURY

3rd February 2021. The NCI station at Prawle Point has been featured on the latest ITV series of Cornwall and Devon Walks With Julia Bradbury

 In this episode, Julia Bradbury embarked on the next leg of her walking tour with a trek along a section of the South West Coast Path. Starting in the Devon town of Salcombe, Julia followed the dramatic and rugged trail eastwards. After sampling the famous Salcombe crabs and admiring the wildlife, this part of her tour ended at Prawle Point. Here she spent some time with the volunteers at the National Coastwatch Station at Prawle Point who provide the ‘Eyes Along the Coast ‘at the southernmost point of Devon. Here Julia learnt about the National Coastwatch Institution and about the many shipwrecks in this beautiful but dangerous part of our coastline.
