Braunton Devon Map

About Braunton

Braunton breathes the salty air of North Devon, a place where the land curves towards the sea. It lies 7.8 km west-north-west of Barnstaple (from Barnstaple: bearing 293°T, OS grid SS 487 365), and is situated north-north-west of Wrafton village. The village green, a broad sweep of emerald, seems to hold the diffused, pearly light of the coast, a light that softens ancient stone and whispers across the surrounding fields. Braunton, with its long history as a market centre, still carries the echo of those weekly gatherings, the scent of produce and the murmur of voices carried on the breeze. Its proximity to the Taw Estuary and the vast sands of Saunton, Croyde, and Woolacombe has shaped its character, a gentle resilience forged by wind and tide. The parish church of St. Brannock, a sturdy presence, has watched over generations, its bells marking the passage of time in this enduring corner of England.
