There are a few pubs with "The Agricultral Inn" And "The Williams Arms" among my favourites. You can get your hair cut at "Terrys Gentlemens Hairdressers" For Cheap. Oh and the police are quite lenient so speed around if you like. Also in Braunton there are quite a few churches, "St. Branocks Church" is the best and has a bit of history. Braunton carnival is a good laugh but doesn't happen often enough.
BRAUNTON, the large ancient village which gives name to this Hundred and Petty Sessional Division, is situated on the banks of a rivulet about 2 miles from the sea coast and the Taw estuary, and 5 miles W.N.W. of Barnstaple.
Near the sea is a large tract of land covered with sand, called Braunton Borrow, abounding in rabbits and having two lighthouses for the security of mariners navigating the Bristol Channel, or crossing Barnstaple bar.
Braunton was an ancient demense of the Crown, and was given by Richard I. to Odo, ancestor of the Carews.
