Braunton is an English village, civil parish, ecclesiastical parish and former manor in North Devon. Braunton is situated 5 miles west of Barnstaple. Within the parish is the fertile, low-lying Braunton Great Field, which adjoins the undulating Braunton Burrows, the Core Area in North Devon Biosphere Reserve, the largest psammosere (sand dune system) in England. It confronts the Atlantic Ocean at the west of the parish at the large beach of Saunton Sands, one of the South West's international-standard surfing beaches.
Braunton was the chief manor of Braunton Hundred, and had been held by Saxon kings. Between 855 and 860 10 hides in Brannocminster were granted by King Æthelbald of Wessex to Glastonbury Abbey. Braunton Dean, which probably represented the land granted by King William the Conqueror to Algar the Priest at some time before the compilation of the Domesday Book of 1086.
Braunton Abbots, which extended also over part of the adjoining parish of Marwood. It was created by a grant from the remnant of the royal manor of Braunton by King Henry III (1216–1272) to Cleeve Abbey in Somerset.
Braunton Gorges, was held by the de Sachville family. Robert de Sachville (Latinized to de Siccavilla (from the dry town)) had been granted this part in 1202.
In 550 the missionary St. Brannock sailed from South Wales and converted the native Britons to Christianity. Brannock was a priest in the household of Brychan, King of Brecknock.
Since the closing years of the 20th century, the village has become a hub for surfing as it is on the main road gateway to three of the South West's surf beaches of Saunton, Croyde and Putsborough, all with fine powdery sand, and to a lesser extent a road to Woolacombe). The Museum of British Surfing opened in 2012 in the old goods shed of the old Braunton Railway Station on the Ilfracombe Branch Line.

BARNSTAPLE Devon September 2021 - Town Centre Walk (4K)
Join us for a walk in Barnstaple, Devon, England. We explore Barnstaple town centre and start our walk on Barnstaple High Street. We take a look at the historic Pannier Market building and stroll down Butchers Row and Boutport Street. We finish our walk by the Barnstaple Clock Tower (the Albert Clock) with views of Barnstaple Long Bridge and the Museum of Barnstaple & North Devon.
Barnstaple is a river-port town in North Devon, England, at the lowest crossing point of the River Taw flowing into the Bristol Channel. From the 14th century, it was licensed to export wool. Great wealth ensued. Later it imported Irish wool, but its harbour silted up and other industries developed, such as shipbuilding, foundries and sawmills. A Victorian market building survives, with a high glass and timber roof on iron columns. Barnstaple is the largest town in North Devon and the main shopping area for North Devon.
The town was a prosperous place in the past, at one time a major port particularly for the American trade. It remains a thriving market town with a traditional Pannier Market. Today Barnstaple has a partly pedestrianised centre and features many fine buildings and attractive narrow streets and alleys. The oldest surviving part of town is the Norman mound and remnants of the original Norman castle wall can still be seen. There is also the ornate Queen Anne’s Walk and the 13th century Long Bridge. Close by is the Museum of North Devon.
Barnstaple is a good base from which to explore Tarka Country and the 180 mile Tarka Trail.
Most of the town lies on the east bank of the estuary, connected on the western side by the ancient Barnstaple Long Bridge, which has 16 arches. The town's early medieval layout still appears from the street plan and street names, with Boutport Street (About the Port) following the curved line of the ditch outside the town walls.
Barnstaple has an eclectic mix of architectural styles, with the 19th century probably predominant. There are remnants of early buildings as well as several early plaster ceilings. St Anne's Chapel in the central churchyard can be seen as the most important of the ancient buildings to survive. Queen Anne's Walk was erected in about 1708 as a mercantile exchange. The Georgian Guildhall is also of interest, as is the Pannier Market beneath it.
Barnstaple has been the major market for North Devon since Saxon times. Demands for health regulation of its Victorian food market saw the construction in 1855–1856 of a Pannier Market, originally known as the Vegetable Market and designed by local architect R. D. Gould. This has a high glass-and-timber roof on iron columns. At 98 metres long, it runs the length of Butchers' Row.
Built on the other side of the street at the same time as the Pannier Market, Butchers' Row consists of ten shops with pilasters of Bath Stone and wrought-iron supports for an overhanging roof. Only one is still a butcher's, although successor shops still sell local agricultural goods. There is a baker, a delicatessen, two fishmongers, a florist and a greengrocer.
In early 2020, the local Council web site provided this summary of the Pannier Market: Largely unchanged in over 150 years, Barnstaple's historic Pannier Market has a wide range of stalls, with everything from fresh local produce, flowers and crafts, to prints and pictures, fashion and... two cafés.
The Pannier Market, Butchers Row has been a Grade II listed building since 1951.
The Albert Clock is a clocktower memorial located in The Square in Barnstaple to Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria. The tower was built in 1862.
The South West Coast Path National Trail runs through the town, and gives access to walks along the spectacular North Devon coast.

Woolacombe is a seaside resort on the coast of North Devon, England, which lies at the mouth of a valley (or 'combe') in the parish of Mortehoe. The beach is 3 miles long, sandy, gently sloping and faces the Atlantic Ocean near the western limit of the Bristol Channel.
Woolacombe is a popular destination for surfing and family holidays and is part of the North Devon Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The beach has been managed by Parkin Estates Ltd since the 1970s and has over the years continuously been recognised as one of the best beaches in Europe. It won the title of Britain's Best Beach in the Coast Magazine Awards 2012 and was awarded the same prize of Britain's Best Beach in 2015 by TripAdvisor, also ranking in their polls as 4th in Europe and 13th best in the world. The beach water quality is monitored regularly by the Environment Agency and was rated excellent from 2016 to 2020.
The winter population is small (around 1,000), but during the summer large numbers of people come to the village for their holidays, including for surfing. There are many hotels, holiday flats, holiday parks, campsites and bed and breakfast establishments, and most of the entertainment opportunities are aimed at tourists. The village is served by a local independent pharmacy and a satellite doctors surgery. There is a crazy golf course in the centre of the village, which formerly featured North Devon landmarks for the holes, with model buildings constructed from the various types of stone found in the local area, and was rebuilt as a pirate-themed crazy golf course in 2010.
The South West Coast Path runs through the village, with access to the North Devon coast, including the walk out to and around Morte Point. There are several establishments in the area that provide pony trekking, and riding along Woolacombe Sands.
Woolacombe lies within the North Devon Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which is renowned for its dramatic coastal cliffs and landscape. Due to Atlantic waves, the swell is at somewhat large and very clean making it a great benefit for surfing.
Across from the beach, there are views of Lundy Island. Woolacombe has low cliffs at either end of the beach which are home to the rare maritime heathland as well as sand dunes behind the beach. Much of the countryside close to the village is owned and cared for by the National Trust. The coast itself is part of the North Devon Voluntary Marine Conservation Area because of its diverse and rare species.
During the Second World War, the U.S. Army Assault Training Centre was based at Woolacombe, where thousands of small boat crews and infantry practised amphibious landing assaults on the beach in preparation for the Invasion of Normandy, part of Operation Overlord. The long flat shape of the beach and the conditions of the hinterland were considered to closely resemble the Omaha Beach landing area.
Ilfracombe, Devon! (2022) #ILFRACOMBE
A relaxing visit to the pretty seaside town of Ilfracombe!
Ilfracombe is a seaside resort and civil parish on the North Devon coast, England, with a small harbour surrounded by cliffs. Ilfracombe is the leading holiday resort in North Devon. It sits snugly amongst the rugged cliffs of the Atlantic coast, and has a charming natural harbour and elegant Victorian architecture. The town enjoyed its heyday after the arrival of the railway and most buildings derive from this period.
This charming resort has been a consistent winner of Britain in Bloom with colourful displays brightening up streets and seafront. The natural harbour is set among spectacular cliffs and coves. In addition to local fishing boats, visitors may hire pleasure craft offering trips as far as Lundy Island.

Westward Ho! North Devon - England - September 2021 - 4K Virtual Walk
Join us for a walk in Westward Ho! North Devon, England. Our walk starts near the Westward Ho! Sea Pool. We walk along the seafront promenade, past the colourful beach huts, soaking up the glorious views of the beach and surrounding area. We check out some of Westward Ho! village, take a look at the Pebble Ridge Adventure Golf and Go Karts and finish our walk by Westward Ho! beach.
Westward Ho! is a seaside village near Bideford in Devon, England. Westward Ho! is the only town in the UK to have an exclamation mark as part of its name. The village name comes from the title of Charles Kingsley's novel Westward Ho! (1855), which was set in nearby Bideford. The book was a bestseller, and entrepreneurs saw the opportunity to develop tourism in the area, which led to the creation of Westward Ho!
Situated on the beautiful North Devon coast, Westward Ho! has over two miles of golden sand that has the prestigious Blue Flag award for facilities and water quality. The village has a wide selection of accommodation, including two popular holiday parks; Surfbay Holiday Park and Braddick's Holiday Centre. There are plenty of places to eat, things to do, great shops, amazing walks and wonderful nature. It is a perfect base for a holiday in North Devon due to it's central coastal position allowing easy access to explore the hidden beaches, history, towns, culture and other delights of North Devon.
Westward Ho! seafront, like most of the coast in this part of Devon, falls into the North Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and offers stunning views of the beautiful natural landscapes including cliffs, fields and an estuary. Westward Ho! is known for its surfing seas and the long expanse of clean sand backed by a pebble ridge and grasslands which extends for about three miles. Westward Ho! is popular with surfers, kayakers and paddle boarders.
Westward Ho! is also known for the Royal North Devon Golf Club, the oldest golf course in England and Wales. Other attractions of the village include the arcades, a go-kart track, adventure golf and the Rock Pool a seawater tidal swimming pool. Situated among the rocks on the southern end of Westward Ho! beach, this pool has been in existence for at least 120 years and was refurbished in 2015.
Rudyard Kipling spent several of his childhood years at Westward Ho! where he attended the United Services College. His collection of stories, Stalky & Co, published in 1899, was based on his experiences at the College. To commemorate his living there, the first stanza of his poem If— is set into the pavement on the promenade in granite setts.

BOURTON ON THE WATER Cotswolds England
Travel with me to Bourton On The Water in The Cotswolds England, a beautiful riverside village known as Venice of The Cotswolds.This popular countryside tourist destination and holiday village is stunningly beautiful.
Welcome to this walking tour of Bourton-On-TheWater in The Cotswolds, England. On this walk we travel to this stunning village and wander round all the tourist attractions here from the cotswold motoring museum to the model railway building and then along the river for some lunch in one of the prettiest places in the whole of the UK.
I have to say in advance of you watching this video that I really loved my time here. I had a wonderful day trip and enjoyed walking round the village and having a browse of the shops. The walk along the riverside is great too!
Bourton on the Water is a village on the River Windrush and is popular with tourists on a day trip or visitors on a holiday in the Cotswolds. It's known for the little bridges that straddle the river, and the stone houses constructed from the honey coloured stone that this region is known for.

North Devon: Playing in the Sunshine (and Grabbing a Pint)
See more details on the blog:
We've had a few days in the resort town of Ilfracombe in North Devon and it's a stunning area. North Devon holiday cottages abound and we found one not too far from the high street but quiet with sheep out front. That's right. Of all the things to do and places to visit in Devon, this is a highlight. Apparently during the summer this is a prime location for days out in south west England and we can see why. I got the boys out in the sun and on the green grass and they had a blast. Then to a traditional pub for a pint.
'Like' this video (really helps us out) and we would love to know your thoughts on this in the comments.
