Hooe Lake is located in the south east of Plymouth next to Radford Lake and Radford Quarry. The site covers 14 hectares and is privately owned and managed and is accessible to the public. The site is tidal, containing mudflats and open water habitats.
The site is designated as a County Wildlife Site because of the mudflats, a UK Biodiversity Action Plan (UKBAP) priority habitat that's present at low water.
