Walked up here from Croyde bay. There are 3 routes,a low route,a high route and the one that my wife took me up where you need a Sherpa for a guide. It got the heart pumping but it was worth it as the views were breathtaking.

Gorgeous, not too demanding 4 mile walk along the coastline from Putsborough beach to baggy point and back. There's not a great deal to see at Baggy Point but the view out to sea on the walk up is beautiful.

Was a very nice walk and great views. Only bad thing was once you get close to the top there was so many fly's. But a local said it's not normally like that. Can't wait to go back next year

Good stroll from NT car park. Free for members and has a good NT cafe

Nice national trust car parking with FREE 7kw charging! Almost never find this these days. From the car park there is several paths to the point, the shortest is about a mile. Makes for a nice round trip. It’s a general path suitable for all. Great views and things to look at along the way.

Simply stunning location to watch the sunset and relax. About 0.5 mile from Croyde beach, reached via a narrow path that is right on the edge of the cliff. Leave a good hour before sunset to get the final minutes of the daylight. No cycling, and no disabled access unfortunately. Worth the walk.

Great views and some interesting things to see on the way. This short stretch (about a mile, one way) is part of the South West coastal path but can be a walk in itself. There's plenty of bird life in Spring and Summer as well as a few artificial features to enjoy on the way. Allow for a couple of hours to take pictures, watch the sea birds and simply enjoy the view. The path is not too taxing for the reasonably able bodied though there are a couple of steep inclines up and down. This entire walk is completely exposed so check the weather to ensure mild temperatures, low winds and no rain. As ever, take plenty of water. For the best experience, walk along the coastal path to the point but come back over the top for a little variety and to see the dry stone walling and WW2 pillbox. If you stay in or near the village then walk up to the start. For those driving here, there's a National Trust car park at the beginning of the walk

Worth the parking ticket. Friendly staff in Cafe and shop. Piping hot food tasty Pasties! We really enjoyed surfing. Careful driving down.. take it slow it's a fabulous day out. Surfing rental place was good value if you want to rent a board and wet suit for 2 hours ( we didn't have lessons as we have done elsewhere amd couldnt for that in on the day) but the suana and showers were not available which was disappointing. Surfing was good fun in wet weather as you don't notice the drizzle!

Absolutely spot on location, be careful from Croyde down the lanes mind as they are tight lol! Jurassic vybes here for sure. Great waves on the day I was here, lots of rock pooling opportunity to the far left of the beach / cliff face. My daughter loved it! Beach spotless and dramatic. Sand lovely and firm like carpet opposed to dry, deep and tiring. Resident cafe/restaurant food very good quality and plentiful for the price IMO as were the cost of gifts reasonable. Really fun day with ample parking and well worth the £14 fee. Cheap day out in hindsight with a spot of lunch for a family for 4. Would highly recommend! Lots of nice purple rocks too!! Toilets good quality, spotless and free.

Putsborough beach is a long stretching and relaxing beach. It has both a dog and non-dog section of the beach, paid parking £8-£14 depending on time, a cafe, shop and ice cream store. There are also toilets on site. The beach can be busy but has plenty of room to find a space you are happy with. Great waves and all in all an amazing beach.

£10 parking for a day. Great toilets and changing area. Beach cafe too

Very nice Beach, good walk, mostly dog friendly

One of the most stunning beaches in the UK. Putsborough beach and Woolacombe beach are a must to visit. Plus it’s super nice that you can walk between the two and enjoy each village

Absolutely stunning spot. More sheltered from the SW winds than Woolacombe beach so waves better in windy conditions. Great cafe with good choice of food and drink. Sandy beach. Scrupulously clean and bonus of rocks to get changed on to keep off the sand. Best beach in the area

Super cute display with interesting objects (gorgeous boards!) and good info on the history of surfing in the UK. Cute drawing station for the little dudes and lovely volunteer who sat behind the till. Recommended.

A really well curated museum. It's not very big but it has a ton of history and it gives an inside about how surfing began in the UK and what it was like.

Theres not much you can buy for £2 in the area. I would suggest, whether you are into surfing or not, to spend that money getting into this museum. Took my 10 year old in and he absolutely loved it. Full of history, loads of fascinating facts and a beautiful display of boards through the ages. The antithesis of the local museum!

Even for those that don't surf, there is a lot of interesting history about surfing here. The entrance fee is an absolute bargain for what can be over an hour of education. The development of surf boards over the last century is intriguing. From coffin lid surf boards, to ultra modern triple fin composite boards, belly boards and long boards, there is a lot to see. Every exhibit has a story. Thanks to the guys that keep this place going and who gave time to showing me around and answering all my questions (me being total novice). Recommended. I might even have a go at surfing!

Epic tiny museum that is a must for all to visit. We had a blast and the guy that works there is super kind, we lobed our visit and our dog was allowed in as he was small bit normally dogs are not allowed. It has amazing displays and I highly recommend it for Amy surfer.

This is a must see for anyone with an interest in surfing no matter how remote. The guys in there really do know their stuff and the exhibits are phenomenal absolute quality finds and it's cheap to get in charity run so well worth supporting. I aim to go back everytime I go on holiday.

Fantastic... Bought back many memories of my growing up years surfing in the late 60's and 70's. I was 16 all over again! 🤘. A thorough and proper walk through of the U.K history of surfing all under one roof manned by volunteers. I came away reflecting and carrying a signed copy of "Surf Sweat and Tears" by Andy Martin of the Life and mysterious Death of Ted Deerhurst who I had met along the journey of my surfing passion. Thank You 🏄‍♂️

We paid the £2.50 toll road fee and parked at Crow Point car park, we then took the dunes walk. A lovely walk spoiled by numerous dog owners not clearing up after their pets. You end up smelling dog droppings along the walk when it should just be fresh sea air..

Quiet & spaceous! Walked across the sand ( dragging the wife in a wheelchair with a piggy back on the soft stuff) Had a picnic when the tide was out. Freindly locals who were up for a chat!

A great area to walk around. Also close to the Assault training and D Day Landing craft mock-ups which are must to visit. There is also a ship wreck which still has the engine in place. Same parking area for all, just £2.50 for the private toll.

Lovely hidden gem. We heard about it from some locals listening in on our conversation over drinks. You can do a good few miles loop along the beach and cutting back in across the dunes, or walk all the way to Saunton Sands. Good for windsurfing when conditions right.

A lovely place to take your dog or children to. Plenty to keep both amused and wide open spaces on the beach. Accessed by a toll road (£2.50) with a electronic barrier with quite a few speed bumps and passing places before you reach the large parking area which is gravel and can be a bit muddy after prolonged rain. Parts of the area are Army training grounds but are still accessible. There are expansive views up river to Barnstaple and across to Instow and Appledore and out to sea. No toilets or places to get refreshments so you’ll need to make sure you have everything you need for the day. There’s a lot of driftwood on the beach for children to make camps and shelters and the odd shipwreck to play with. On a warm summer’s day it’s a lovely place to spend some time walking in the dunes but be aware that there are Adders and it’s best to keep your pet close by as it’s a slow drive to the nearest vet in Braunton.

Access took longer than I thought it would but provision for parking was good! I wish I had longer to explore because there’s clearly lots of the area to look at! Lovely views across the Taw estuary to Appledore

Always visit crow point when in North Devon, £2.50 parking. Wildlife great, saw a Grass Snake near the toll gate. Had a good walk up to Saunton sands and back. Lovely chilled afternoon.

Lovely staff and place. A bit of history of the area.

Local museums always have gems that help you really get a feel for a place and Braunton's is no different. The museum is free (donations encouraged) and although small it is well worth a visit (which is easy being located next to the main Braunton car park). There is a focus on WW2 and the role this area played on hosting US troops and prepping for D Day. My favourite items here include a cannon recovered from the wreck of a 16th century british warship/sloop and letters from the King thanking individuals for their war time service.

The museum is fascinating, full of interesting artefacts. But what struck me the most were the wonderful volunteer staff...they love the work they do and couldn't be more helpful and charming. The young man is an outstanding source of information about Braunton Burrows and obviously spends a lot of free time there exploring the place. He is also very knowledgeable about the way soldiers trained on the Burrows in readiness for invading Europe. I only popped in to buy a map but the visit turned out to be one of the highlights of the day!

Some people travel hundreds of miles just to witness the magnitude of the model railway setup that this museum has to offer. The breathtaking journey back in time is more than worth the astronomically high parking fees of the local carpark just across the roundabout. But I'd say that it is worth it. My life is now complete... I can die with a smile on my face, and the memories in my head.

A small free voluntary run countryside museum staff lovely and helpful 4 kids with us enjoyed the interactive displays grandson age 6 took in 2 small crabs he had found to look at under the microscope, they have plenty of articles to look at under microscope, they also enjoyed colouring in nature pictures.

I phoned and spoke to lady called Maureen Walton.She was very helpful in what i asked about a late local Author.She could find me the answers with seconds,listened properly.So she is arranging an email to be sent soon. I feel she is a credit to your Museum,and hope to visit soon. Take care,try to be busy Michael B Essery Co-Author Barnstaple and all this Related.

Very friendly and approachable staff, the museum itself is quite small but packed with interesting things ranging from household items and the local maritime history through to the two world wars and beyond,

Interesting look around. Friendly staff.

Nice little stop if you like nature. All things local, interesting. Great for children as a few interactive gadgets.

Very interesting centre with a mountain of information about local wildlife and very friendly staff.

Absolutely fantastic for kids and grownups. Was blown away by the amount of information and the microscope is great kept the kids entertained for ages looking at feathers in detail and shells etc all displayed on a large flat screen TV plus thats free to use. Useful local knowledge of the area. Must visit when in Braunton

Great experience, exhibits of local wildlife, sealife, flora and fauna were well presented and easy to read and understand. We went to an evening film showing of Lundy Island, everyone was very friendly, helpful and informative. Please visit as they are self funded and need and deserve all the help they can get, footfall or donations.

Not only do they have a wide range of information about wildlife linked to the local area inside, they also hold talks on wildlife, and walks from the centre in the summer. It's a pleasant modern build, run by knowledgeable people with a passion for nature. Go to there website and see what's on!

We just popped in to see what it was like and ended up staying for over an hour with my 3 and 5 year olds! They didn't want to leave. There is loads to do, all of which is very interactive. Staff are very welcoming and very knowledgeable too.

A sweet little wood, not a long walk around but I imagine plenty long enough if with children. Wonderfully quiet, has the ruins of a chapel and lots of stumps and fallen trees to picnic on. The path does a loop around the reserve, it's easy enough to begin with and then becomes a little steep, climbing a small hill but it is a proper path with steps. Seasoned hikers should have no problem! Parking is on the road and the road to get there is narrow and windy - definitely drive slow.

One of the best woodlands we've found! Come here at any time of day or year for a different experience. My photos are from autumn when the leaves are on the ground, mushrooms are everywhere and the afternoon light is awesome! The woods isn't very big but is long enough for a short walk - great for children or toddlers! There's also a beautiful chapel ruin and spring at the beginning of the walk with information boards about its history. We've filled a few bottles up here before and seen others with big gallon bottles! The only thing to watch out for are the stairs at the back of the woods, some are steep and some have rotted away so a little useless. Parking is limited to around 6 cars along the roadside but we've never had trouble finding a spot. A little secret amongst the hills!

Lovely place. Parking on the lane limited but very few people around.

Yet another great rspb reserve this one's a lovely little woodland setting with some lovely wildlife and great views. It is set on quite a steep hill with quite a climb to the top . But still a great past to pass a couple of hours

Such a beautiful little woodland with a wonderful circular walk. Quite steep in parts, but has steps.

So peaceful. Perfect to take the dogs. Plenty of wildlife and the ruins of a Chapel.

Lovely little woodland reserve tucked out of the way. Great for those interested in birds as there are plenty to see there including great spotted woodpeckers which I was fortunate to see a couple of times! Parking can be a little tricky as there are only a few spaces but well worth a visit!

Has luxury lodges within the grounds extensive wildlife deer, fox, badger all spotable from the lodges.
