BRAUNTON

Braunton lays claim to be the largest village in England. It has its own heritage centre and is important in the manufacture of wet suits and surf boards.


Nearby, Britain's first UNESCO 'Biosphere Reserve' covers a vast area and takes in Braunton's remarkable network of sand dunes as well as Braunton Marshes, Northam Burrows and the Taw/Torridge estuary.
