The sand dunes at Braunton Burrows and Northam Burrows in North Devon have been designated as Internationally important by UNESCO
It is the first site in the UK to be made a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The Biosphere Reserve has a core area centred on Braunton Burrows, stretching out into what are called buffer zones and the transitional areas, to include Braunton Marshes and great Fields, Northam Burrows, Kipling Tors, Croyde Dunes and the Taw and Torridge Estuary. There is a strong local tradition of respect for the land and sea and a warm welcome to the like minded visitors wanting to look, learn and appreciate. |
