The Braunton Countryside Centre is an activity of the North Devon Environmental Trust (Charity No: 296707).
It's mission is to increase the understanding, awareness and enjoyment of the coastal and farmed landscapes surrounding Braunton among people of all ages - both locals and visitors alike - and helps visitors to appreciate and enjoy the North Devon Biosphere with Displays, Information, Guided Walks, Illustrated Talks and Filmshows.
The design of the centre is based on a cattle shelter ('linhay') from Braunton marshes. In a short visit you can plan one or more days out in the wonderful countryside around Braunton. Tarka the otter watches children around the displays and there are lots of materials for children. There are leaflets at little or no cost and a collection of reference books for you to see. There are displays about the Braunton Burrows network of sandhills (with special film), the coast, the marshes, the estuary, the historic 'Great Field' and the hilly downland. Illustrated Talks and Filmshows have now become a popular and well established part of the Braunton calendar. Guided Walks are available throughout the summer.
How to find it - Take B3231 (signed Croyde) from Braunton traffic lights and look for brown sign to left. See Map
The Centre faces the Caen Street Car Park, just opposite the Braunton Museum and Tourist Information Centre.
