About

Braunton sits in a broad valley carved by the River Caen in North Devon. The parish includes Braunton Burrows, a large sand-dune complex that is part of the North Devon Biosphere Reserve and supports a mix of dune grassland and tracked routes across the dunes. Close to the village the Great Field preserves the pattern of medieval strip cultivation, still legible in field boundaries and old ridge-and-furrow lines. The river runs through the settlement and across low-lying marsh before meeting the tidal waterways at the coast within the parish boundary.

The village centre is arranged along a High Street with shops, a post office, and services that serve surrounding farms and hamlets. St Brannock’s Church stands near the core; parts of the building date from the 13th century. Local life combines agriculture, small businesses, and outdoor activities, supported by clubs and community groups and a secondary school serving the wider area. A network of lanes and public footpaths links the village to the dunes and marshes, used year-round by walkers and cyclists.
