A you are here map and information board at by a small parking area at Glebe Cliffs, Tintagel, near to St Materiana church.

"The cliff-tops, locally known as Glebe Cliffs, at Tintagel have been designated as a ‘Site of Special Scientific Interest by English Nature because of their importance in terms of their botanical and geological features.

This area of the North Cornwall coast has also been designated a ‘Special Area of Conservation’ and needs to be maintained by the traditional and well practised method of animal grazing. Grazing will reduce aggressive course grasses and encroachment of scrub, thereby allowing wild flowers to thrive.

Some flowers here are nationally scarce, such as hairy birds-foot trefoil, wild chives and autumn squill. One insect, the brown carder bee, is on the UK’s Biodiversity Action Plan’s priority list. These species, amongst others, are under threat from lack of grazing management."
