A favourite with visitors hoping to get a taste of the Jurassic coast - maybe have a go at fossil hunting. Take a walk through the gardens or out “The Cobb” (the harbour wall). Plenty of pubs and restaurants although booking recommended. Head to Bell Cliff for a good old fashioned fry up. The most lively atmosphere in the evening locally.

Visit the quaint fishing village of Beer a 10 minute drive away or walk from Branscombe. Full of small independent shops and beach cafés. In summer maybe hire a self drive boat off the beach - whether you go fishing or not it’s a lovely spot to go out to sea. Lovely in the morning in particular though take note in the evening that the sun tends to set a lot earlier.
