I am indebted to Andy Powell for locating many of the reference sources referred to below, and in providing valuable historical assistance to progress this research to its conclusions. In the main Statement of Significance Report, the history of the buildings was researched as far as possible in an attempt to assess their Heritage Value, with a view to the owners making a decision on the future of these historic Bideford properties.

    Best of Braunton Walk, North Devon Place to Walk

    Best of Braunton Walk, North Devon Place To Walk Location & Access: The nearby town of Barnstaple acts as a transport hub for the area, and there is a working railway station here that links to Exeter Central and Exeter St Davids. Public buses run from Barnstaple to Braunton (Route 21 to Ilfracombe). There are numerous car parks in Braunton, and this walk starts from the Caen Street Car Park in the centre of the village (grid ref: SS 487 366). Other car parks can be found at Velator Quay (grid ref: SS 484 354) and at Broadsands (grid ref: SS 467 327). Photo: Paul Berry Key Geography: One of only three examples of an open field farm system left in England, Braunton Burrows UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, marshland reclamation scheme, Crow Point spit, theTaw estuary, river management at Velator. Description: This seven-mile walk over flat relief gives a taste of three imposing landscape features next to the village of Braunton in north Devon. These are: Braunton Marsh, an area of wet pasture reclaimed in the 19th century, Braunton Burrows, one of England's largest areas of sand dunes and the Braunton Great Field, one of only three such examples of open field farming in England surviving from the medieval period. The walk starts at the Caen Street Car Park in the centre of Braunton (grid ref: SS 487 366). Leave the car park entrance and turn left, almost immediately crossing the river Caen.
