Crow Point - North Devon
Lying at the tip of Braunton Burrows, Crow Point is a curved spit of sand which lies at the entrance to the Taw-Torridge Estuary. The open views from here are simply stunning, as is the sense of space. The area is the site of an ancient ferry crossing to Appledore and played a role in the WWII military activities that took place across the Burrows.
