Saunton

Saunton

Saunton is a village located approximately two miles from Braunton, on the North Devon coast in the South West of England.

Several kilometres long, the village borders the former national nature reserve, Braunton Burrows. Its beach 'Saunton Sands', is part of the Taw-Torridge Estuary which forms part of one of the only UNESCO biosphere reserves in the UK.

The Saunton Surf Life Saving Club is based here.

The South West Coast Path National Trail runs through the village, and gives access to walks along the rugged North Devon coast.

Saunton Down lies within the North Devon Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
