Beer & Branscombe

About

Beer & Branscombe ward encompasses the coastal villages of Beer and Branscombe within East Devon's Jurassic Coast. The area is characterised by its steep chalk cliffs, pebble beaches, and narrow valleys known as combes. Beer remains a working fishing village, with boats launched directly from the shingle beach. The local economy has historical ties to lace-making and quarrying Beer stone, a distinctive limestone used in many historic buildings.

Inland, the landscape transitions to rolling farmland and the wooded slopes of the combe at Branscombe. The parish includes a significant stretch of the South West Coast Path, offering extensive coastal views. The area's geology is prominent, with landslip terrain near Hooken Undercliff. Local facilities include a village hall, primary school, and several traditional thatched properties.
