Braunton is the gateway to the North Devon Coast AONB and Biosphere Reserve, noted for its special landscapes, including Braunton Burrows, Braunton Great Field and Braunton Marshes. This walk will take in the Braunton Beacon (West Hill), the River Caen and St Brannocks Churchyard which are important habitats for a number of species of bats including the rare Greater Horseshoe Bat.

Throughout the walk we will listen and look out for bat species flying overhead whilst they go about their foraging practices at dusk. We will have some portable bat detectors available to share during the walk.

Meet at Braunton Countryside Centre at 7pm. The walk will finish at the Centre at 9pm.

Please note: the ascent to the Braunton Beacon includes a very steep slope. The route also includes one flight of steps and two steep ascents on the route up to Braunton Beacon. Please wear sensible footwear and appropriate weather clothing. All children must be supervised by an adult.

Please also bring a small torch. Unfortunately, dogs are not permitted on this walk, as they disturb the wildlife.

*The Braunton Countryside Centre is a small volunteer-run charity. We rely on donations to keep our doors open and maintain a vibrant events programme. We also want to make sure our events are open to all, regardless of circumstances. So, although we do not charge event fees, we do ask for a suggested minimum donation of £4 per person, but any amount you are happy/able to give would be greatly appreciated. If you wish to further contribute to our running costs, you can become a Friend of Braunton Countryside Centre for £15 per year. Please find the details on our website, or ask at the Centre.
