Select Towns/Villages: Beer, Topsham, Sidmouth, Budleigh Salterton, Exeter, Seaton, Lyme Regis
Popular Devon village
A popular, and beautiful, Devon village set back from the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site of South West England. The National Trust owns many of the buildings within, and land around, Branscombe.
Natural Beauty
The area is stunning, especially its coastline. On sunny days, blue-green seas meet white beaches beneath high green cliffs.
We'd recommend walking the South West Coast Path east to Beer Head for views across Seaton Bay. Alternatively, head west in the direction of Sidmouth. The stretch of coastline around Weston Mouth Beach is as good as anything on the UK coast.
Beach and Forge
Visit the National Trust's Old Bakery, Manor Mill and Forge before heading down to Branscombe Beach.
If you like churches, try Branscombe Saint Winifred's Church.
Beer and Sidmouth
For day trips from the Branscombe area, try the stunning seaside village Beer and the wonderful East Devon resort Sidmouth. Note that the cliffs around the latter are red rock. Last, we'd urge you to explore Lyme Regis on the Devon/Dorset border.
