2025-07-29 Saunton Sands,Braunton Burrows,Croyde

Unfolded along one of North Devon’s most beautiful coastal stretches, starting on the wide, golden expanse of Saunton Sands, where the tide pulled long silver reflections across the beach and surfers drifted like small silhouettes against the Atlantic. From there the path led into the vast dune system of Braunton Burrows, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve where sandy trails weave through wildflowers, quiet pockets of shade, and the soft hum of insects hidden in the grass. By the time the day reached Croyde, the village felt like a perfect coastal exhale — surf shops, stone cottages, and the curve of the bay glowing in the late‑afternoon light. It was a day shaped by wind, water, and the slow rhythm of walking between landscapes that feel both rugged and deeply peaceful.
