Braunton Burrows North Devon Biosphere Reserve, Biosphere reserve in North Devon, England.
The reserve encompasses 640 hectares of sand dunes, grasslands, and wetlands, creating a network of interconnected natural habitats along the Bristol Channel.
The British Ministry of Defence has maintained a training presence in parts of Braunton Burrows since World War II, conducting amphibious exercises.
Local fishermen continue traditional harvesting methods for Atlantic salmon, sea trout, and sea bass within the waters of the Taw Torridge Estuary.
Walking trails through the dune system provide access points for nature observation, with information boards explaining the ecological features throughout the reserve.
The mobile sand created by military activities benefits specific plant species such as Sand Toadflax, Water Germander, and Sea Stock.
