About This Event

The Heritage Open Days event will take place in Branscombe, Exeter on 20 September 2026. The event provides a tour of the village's history, including tales of smuggling, and attendees should check the website for prices.

Starting at the beach, the tour group will be taken back in time to look at the history of this unique and picturesque village. Expect tales of smuggling, struggling and the odd ghost. The route will head inland, taking in some highlights of the surrounding landscape, as well as giving an account of the village in its commercial heyday, looking at buildings that once housed general stores, carpenters and coffin makers, butchers and slaughter yards, and even a munitions factory. The walk will then arrive at Manor Mill, where a 20-minute tour of the premises will follow, complete with milling demonstration by guides in Victorian costume. Then it's across pastureland and through an orchard to the Old Bakery, where the walk will finish.
