Welcome to North Devon and to EX33 (our beautiful postcode)
You have chosen a truly amazing place to visit. EX33 contains the Braunton Burrows Biosphere Reserve, the Tarka Trail, The South West Coast Path, 3 beaches, 3 headlands, an estuary and 15 miles of diverse coastline. We are part of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and as you spend time here you will see why. There is also a wealth of talent in this beautiful part of the country and you will see superb artists at work, wonderful musicians playing in local pubs and venues as well as view the incredible landscape through some stunning photographs. All in all it is safe to say that EX33 is a very special place indeed! It’s not all surfing and sandcastles...
We play host to a significant part of the North Devon World Biosphere Reserve. There are only 400 World Biosphere Reserves in the world, and this is the only one of its type in the UK! Our coast and sea are of enormous importance attracting wide, diverse and sometimes unique creatures and habitat. Whilst walking around EX33 and North Devon as a whole it’s always worth keeping your eyes peeled for a porpoise, dolphin, basking shark or even a whale! At the heart of EX33 and at the heart of the Biosphere reserve is Braunton Burrows (also a Site of Special Scientific Interest, SSSI), one of the largest sand dune systems in Britain. The burrows are home to a myriad of rare and beautiful species of plants and wildlife. That’s not all it has been home for, if you look carefully you can see evidence of use of the burrows by American troops during World War 2, who practised here for the Normandy landings.
Just around the corner is Braunton Marshes. Braunton marsh was reclaimed from the sea in the 19th Century and plays host to a staggering array of wildlife and plants. You can also see a beautifully restored shelter with a perfectly thatched roof!
The famous Tarka Trail (which begins in Braunton), and sections of the South West Coast Path weave their way through EX33 and allow visitors to see it’s beauty and enjoy it close up by bike or on foot. The Tarka Trail shares some of it’s route with the South West Coast path which where possible hugs the North Devon Coastline. Just finding and following a Coast Path walk will reward you with a glimpse of what a stunning part of the world you have visited.
Braunton is arguably Britain's largest village and can provide you with all that you need whilst you visit us. Find information in the Countryside Centre and the Braunton Museum (both in the main car park), stock up on holiday clothes, buy daily provisions, get a take away or eat in - we really do have all you will need right here in EX33.
