The 10 Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Braunton, England

January 27, 2022 Giuseppe Pratt

Braunton is an English village, civil parish, ecclesiastical parish and former manor in North Devon. The village is situated 5 miles (8 km) west of Barnstaple. While not the largest village in England, it is amongst the most populous in Devon with a population at the 2011 census of 7,353 people. There are two electoral wards (East and West). Their joint population at the above census was 8,218. Within the parish is the fertile, low-lying Braunton Great Field, which adjoins the undulating Braunton Burrows, the Core Area in North Devon Biosphere Reserve, the largest psammosere (sand dune system) in England. It confronts the Atlantic Ocean at the west of the parish at the large beach of Saunton Sands, one of the South West's international-standard surfing beaches.

Croyde Deckchair Cinema

Reviewed By HayleyBrailey - Hollingbourne, United Kingdom

Quirky and fun way to spend a Monday evening in Croyde village. Our children aren’t at the age where they can make it much past 10pm, and sitting in a caravan listening to rain wasn’t our first choice. When we saw this and read the reviews, we thought we’d give it a go. Popcorn on arrival and access to a bar with soft drinks for the kids. It was a pleasant experience that I doubt we’ll forget.

I went on this last year (In May) after my friend invited me and so glad I did. It was a great week of yoga, exercise, eating, sunbathing and meeting some new people. Andy and Bex are great hosts and knew the area well (in Biarritz, France) and you don’t need to go with someone, you’d be made to feel more than welcome on your own. The activities are all really well planned and the chef they hired for the week was amazing. I still dream about the tarte aux chocolat! The morning yoga and smoothies were such a brill way to start the day and I came back from the week feeling like a new person. I’d 100% recommend booking their Reboot Retreat as a way to have a hol and come back feeling rested and relaxed whilst also enjoying yourself too.
