About Pollen in Torquay

Torquay experiences peak spring Birch pollen late March-May, originating from Torwood Gardens and Cockington Country Park; Oak follows April-June, prevalent in woodlands near Babbacombe Downs; early summer (June-July) brings high Grass pollen from coastal meadows along the South West Coast Path and River Dart tributaries.

Torquay’s coastal proximity and varied topography create pollen trapping effects; southerly winds exacerbate local counts. Autumn (September-November) sees elevated Mould spores, especially from damp, decomposing leaf litter in Kents Cavern woods and sheltered valleys.
