Brownsham Bothy is a stone building offering a basic, open-plan space for relaxing and sleeping. There are sleeping platforms and some storage space and hooks; you should bring all the things you need to camp, including sleeping mats. In the enclosed courtyard there’s a picnic bench, composting toilet and separate sink with cold water. There’s no electricity, lighting or heating.
The bothy is surrounded by peaceful orchard, woodland and grassland, with just a handful of neighbours, with the relaxing sounds of nature and wildlife all around. It is close to the famous South West Coast Path. You can walk just over a mile to the small, pebbly beach at Mouthmill, and find Hartland Quay (7 miles) and Westward Ho! (12 miles) close by. Perfect for a group of friends looking for somewhere to get away from it all, the bothy is ideally placed for a walking holiday. Follow a path through nearby Beckland Woods, meandering up to Windbury Head for great views over Bideford Bay and out to Lundy. Known in spring for its carpet of bluebells, you’ll love exploring this beautiful stretch of North Devon.
Just a short drive along coast and you’ll arrive at Clovelly, a fishing village with a steep, cobbled high street leading down to the harbour, and home to local shops, cafés and traditional pubs.
