Heanton Punchardon

About

Heanton Punchardon ward lies along the northern bank of the River Taw estuary, encompassing the village of Braunton Burrows. The area is defined by its low-lying, agricultural land and the vast system of sand dunes at Braunton Burrows, which form part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. This landscape includes the Taw-Torridge estuary, a significant habitat for overwintering birds. The ward's settlements, like Heanton Punchardon itself, are small and primarily residential, with a strong connection to the surrounding natural environment.

The economy has historical roots in farming, though it is now closely tied to the adjacent village of Braunton. The presence of RAF Chivenor, a military airbase situated on the estuary's edge, is a notable local feature. The area is traversed by the Tarka Trail, a long-distance walking and cycling path that follows the old railway line along the estuary. This creates a direct recreational link to the wider North Devon coast, emphasizing the ward's role within a protected and managed coastal zone.
