Braunton

Courtesy of INCA	Description:	Braunton Burrows is a large area of sand dunes which leads onto the beach (which is dog friendly all year round). There are different routes to take from following a road (easy walking) to walking across the dunes. It has a large population of adders, so care needs to be taken. A note from a greyhound owner - there are also a lot of rabbits!
	Directions:	Enter Wrafton (coming from Barnstaple). Shortly after the petrol station (on the right) turn left. Go straight across the roundabout. Follow the road for about 5 minutes until you come to a junction. Turn left. Follow the road round the corner and there is a car park on the right.
	Classification:	Beach
	Terrain:	Medium - not suitable for wheelchairs but should be manageable for most able-bodied people and dogs
	Enclosed:	No
