New Conservation Area

Fremington Quay Conservation Area, situated in the parish of Fremington.

  The Conservation area boundary runs from a point approximately 80 metres south of the property known as Pill Cottage on the western bank of Fremington Pill north-west and then north to the Mean High Water Mark across the line of the former railway now forming the present Tarka Trail. From the foreshore, the boundary turns east-north-east crossing the mouth of Fremington Pill and along the Mean High Water Mark to meet the wall of Fremington Quay. The boundary continues north-east parallel to and following the Mean High Water Mark on the estuary side of the quay wall to the slipway west of Railway Cottage. From the slipway the boundary turns south to meet the agricultural land which defines the southern extent of Fremington Quay. The boundary then continues south-west to a point approximately 150 metres south of the former railway bridge crossing Fremington Pill. From that point the boundary turns west and crosses Fremington Pill to meet the sea wall adjacent to Pill Cottage.
