Nice little stop if you like nature. All things local, interesting. Great for children as a few interactive gadgets.

Popped in with the kids recently. This is a lovely little countryside centre in Braunton. We live in Braunton & tend to pop in a couple of times a year over the summer months but we popped in earlier over Easter this year. It's free entry & you can add a donation if you choose to when you leave.

The kids loved all the interactive parts of the centre & the new microscope was a big hit! The gentleman working was very friendly, helpful & knowledgeable. There is so much information on Braunton & the surrounding areas such as the marshes & burrows. It's lovely to see there is somewhere dedicated to Braunton & be able to see what animals and plant life can be found locally. Lots of things to look at and touch for a hands-on experience.

We were also very excited to see there were some tadpoles so we will be back to see how they have grown very soon! We will always drop in & support the centre. It's a great part of Braunton village.

Absolutely fantastic for kids and grownups. Was blown away by the amount of information and the microscope is great kept the kids entertained for ages looking at feathers in detail and shells etc all displayed on a large flat screen TV plus thats free to use. Useful local knowledge of the area. Must visit when in Braunton

Great experience, exhibits of local wildlife, sealife, flora and fauna were well presented and easy to read and understand. We went to an evening film showing of Lundy Island, everyone was very friendly, helpful and informative. Please visit as they are self funded and need and deserve all the help they can get, footfall or donations.
