Prawle Point

Prawle Point is a coastal headland in south Devon, England

It is the southernmost point of Devon.

Access is from the village of East Prawle along a single-track road, at the end of which a National Trust car park is present.

At the point itself, there are high cliffs.

The National Coastwatch Institution has a station at the point

The area around the point is a noted area for Cirl Bunting, a localised bird in Britain, while the area has also attracted many rare vagrant birds including Britain's second Chestnut-sided Warbler.

The point is included within the Prawle Point and Start Point Site of Special Scientific Interest.

Pigs Nose is a legendary pub in the area
