More about Saunton

Devon, England

Saunton sits on the sandy edge of Devon where the sea breeze keeps things cool and the local calendar moves at a gentle pace. With no big venues to crowd the scene, the town relies on community halls and outdoor spaces for its regular gatherings. It is a quiet sort of place that knows how to host a good festival without needing a single marquee in sight. There are plenty of reasons to drop by before you head out to walk along the dunes or catch a train from Barnstaple. The local pubs often run quiz nights and live music sessions that keep everyone laughing until their sides hurt. Near Here tracks down the best bits so you can plan your weekend without spending an hour scrolling through endless lists.
