WHY BRAUNTON IS A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE

Braunton is a village that can be easily walked on foot, meaning you can get around without any hassle and stress, whilst you can head out in the countryside or take a trip to gorgeous Saunton Sands in minutes.
Although Braunton is a village, it’s a large and thriving one. Braunton is home to a variety of shops, cafes, bars, and pubs, including The George Inn and The Black Horse, with plenty of local businesses, plus national chains including a Tesco Superstore. You’ll find plenty to do in Braunton, whether that’s shopping, eating out, pilates, surfing, and more. The village has a strong sense of community and hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including Braunton Village Fair held every late May bank holiday.
If you’re a family with children, or have plans to start one, then you’ll be pleased to hear that the village has a selection of nurseries, plus a secondary school and three primaries. All three primaries – Caen Community Primary School, Southmead School and Kingsacre Primary School – are rated as “Good” by Ofsted, as is Braunton Academy secondary.
As well as all the village itself has to offer, Braunton sits in a stunning location. It’s situated right in the heart of North Devon Biosphere Reserve, a nature reserve with a range of landscapes, including the largest sand dune system in England. To the west of the village lies Saunton Sands, a beautiful sand beach that’s grown popular with surfers, but that offers stunning views and a fun day out for family members of all ages.
