Description

The quay at Morwellham, dating from the late 18th century to early 19th century, is constructed of pitched rubble with granite copings. It forms a U-shaped basin that is approximately 15 metres long and 5 metres wide, with walls rising about 3 metres high. A central round-arched opening is located at the base of the rear wall, which serves as the tailrace for the water mill situated to the northwest.

Local climate

Quay sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,000 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 80% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 81% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 17 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 84% of listed buildings. Of these, 7 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
