Yennadon Down is an area of downland between Burrator Reservoir and Dousland. The vegetation is a mixture of grassland and gorse grazed mainly by ponies. The gorse needs to be occasionally burned to keep it down. Once the gorse has been burned the blackened branches often remain for a year or two, as can be seen in the foreground of this photograph.
