The site is the second largest sand dune system in the UK and an important part of the North Devon UNESCO Biosphere

Grazing was viewed by the
Christies Estates Trust as exacerbating erosion and hence damaging to species diversity. The trust therefore opposed the introduction of sheep and cattle to the site. However English Nature felt that this turnover was erosive but nevertheless was less invasive than mowing.
