Inny Foot is a picturesque freshwater marsh located in Cornwall, England. It is situated in the heart of the countryside, surrounded by rolling hills and lush green meadows. The site covers an area of approximately 50 acres and is a haven for a diverse range of flora and fauna.

The main feature of Inny Foot is its tranquil lake, which spans across a large portion of the marsh. The lake is fed by several small streams that flow from the surrounding hills, ensuring a constant supply of fresh water. Its crystal-clear waters provide a habitat for various aquatic plants and animals, including water lilies, reeds, and an array of fish species.

Surrounding the lake, there are several smaller pools and ponds, each with its own unique ecosystem. These smaller bodies of water are home to a variety of amphibians, such as frogs, newts, and toads. They also attract a diverse range of bird species, making it a popular spot for birdwatchers.

The marshland itself is a mix of wetland vegetation, including tall grasses, sedges, and rushes. This provides a perfect habitat for numerous bird species, including marsh harriers, herons, and ducks. The marsh is also an important breeding ground for dragonflies and damselflies, which can be seen darting above the water's surface during the summer months.

Inny Foot is not only a haven for wildlife but also a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and visitors seeking peace and tranquility. Its serene surroundings and abundance of natural beauty make it an ideal spot for picnics, walks, and photography.

All Saints Church, Dunterton This fantastic little church has a some brilliantly preserved headstones dating back to the early 18th century. It also has the wonkiest tower door I&amp;#039;ve ever seen! Unfortunately, due to its isolated position (in a field), it is normally locked.
