Both Seaton Valley LNR and Seaton Valley North are owned and managed
by Caradon District Council.
Until 1995, Seaton Valley LNR was a private caravan site! However,
when the opportunity for Caradon District Council to purchase the
site came up, recognising its potential as a green space for local
people and its value for nature conservation, the Council bought
the site. The site was re-launched as a Countryside Park and in 1997
most of the site was declared as a Local Nature Reserve. At this
time the land immediately to the north was in private ownership.
However, the Council has since acquired this land also, providing
the opportunity to extend the existing reserve. Seaton Valley North
is currently in the process of being declared.
