Braunton Burrows

About this park

Braunton Burrows, a UNESCO North Devon Biosphere Reserve, offers a unique and expansive dog-walking experience across its vast sand dunes and diverse landscape. Dogs are welcome throughout the Burrows, but it's crucial to keep them on a lead around livestock, which graze in various zones to maintain the habitat. Owners are also asked to keep dogs under close control at all times, with friendly signage and information boards at entry points detailing current grazing areas and military training activities. The Burrows is divided into several zones, with maps available at car parks (Saunton Beach, Sandy Lane, Broadsands/Crow Point) indicating livestock status. This allows owners to choose routes that suit them and their dogs, with some areas often being cattle-free. The terrain primarily consists of sandy paths, dunes, and coastal scrub, offering a rugged, natural environment for exploration. Military training may occur in some zones, so awareness of signage is important. Facilities include general waste bins available at Saunton for dog waste removal, and ample parking at the main access points. While specific dog water stations or cafes within the immediate Burrows appear limited, the nearby Saunton Beach area provides amenities. The Burrows is managed by Christie Estates in conjunction with Natural England, welcoming responsible dog owners to enjoy this ecologically significant landscape.
