Welcome to Wrafton

Wrafton is a small village located in the county of Devon, England. It is situated near the coast and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village has a population of around 1,000 people and is known for its peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. Wrafton is a popular destination for tourists who are looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy the natural beauty of the area.

One of the main attractions in Wrafton is the Braunton Burrows, which is a large sand dune system that stretches for miles along the coast. The Burrows is a designated UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and is home to a wide variety of plant and animal species. Visitors can explore the dunes on foot or by bike and enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The Burrows is also a popular spot for birdwatching, with many rare species of birds making their home in the area.

Another popular attraction in Wrafton is the Tarka Trail, which is a 180-mile long cycle path that runs through the heart of Devon. The trail follows the route taken by the fictional character Tarka the Otter in the novel of the same name by Henry Williamson. The trail passes through some of the most beautiful countryside in the area and is a great way to explore the local area. Visitors can hire bikes and cycle along the trail, stopping off at the many pubs and cafes along the way to enjoy some local food and drink.
