Mutter's Moor is situated on top of a steep hill. To the east it
overlooks the Regency seaside town of Sidmouth. To the west the
Otter Valley stretches beneath with views to Woodbury Common. The
moor is an outstanding example of lowland heath. Such heaths have
become scarce nationally and conservation of the remaining area is
now most important. The Heritage Coast Service, Clinton Devon
Estates (the land owner) and the RSPB are undertaking a long term
project to conserve this and other heathlands for the enjoyment of
future generations. The thin acid and stony soil supports plants
such as a variety of heathers and gorse, also bracken and bilberry
are found. These host a wide range of insects especially moths and
butterflies. The bird community is interesting and summer visitors
include stonechat, tree pipit and the nightjar, a long winged bird
which flies at dusk and has a chirring call which carries across
the heath. Ancient trackways lead onto and across Mutter's Moor and
today there is a network of paths and bridleways which have been
cleared signed and waymarked. Public access to the plantations
however is much more restricted. The South West of England is
steeped in history and legend. One story which appears to be based
on fact concerns the infamous Mutter gang which operated in the
area during the 17th century. They were heavily involved in
smuggling wines and tobacco from the nearby coastline. One of the
extended family of Mutters became an agent of the government forces
which were responsible for controlling and eradicating smugglers.
He was much despised by other members of the Mutter family and one
night they murdered him. They were not content with this and
dismembered his body and even went to the extent of throwing the
parts into the bushes for passers-by to see.
