Welcome to Branscombe

Branscombe is a picturesque village located in the East Devon district of Devon, England. The village is situated on the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is surrounded by stunning cliffs and beaches. The village is known for its thatched cottages, traditional pubs, and historic buildings, making it a popular destination for tourists.

One of the main attractions in Branscombe is the Branscombe Mouth beach, which is a pebble beach that stretches for miles along the coast. The beach is surrounded by towering cliffs and is a great spot for swimming, sunbathing, and exploring the rock pools. Visitors can also take a walk along the South West Coast Path, which offers stunning views of the coastline and the surrounding countryside.

Another popular attraction in Branscombe is the National Trust property, the Old Bakery. The Old Bakery is a historic building that dates back to the 14th century and was once used as a bakery and a post office. Today, the building is a museum that showcases the history of the village and the surrounding area. Visitors can explore the museum and learn about the local industries, such as fishing and farming, and the impact they had on the village.
