Braunton
Braunton is an English village, civil parish, ecclesiastical parish and former manor in North Devon. The village is situated west of Barnstaple. While not the largest village in England, it is amongst the most populous in Devon with a population at the 2011 census of 7,353 people.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.citypopulation.de/php/uk-england-southwestengland.php?cityid=E35000220 )〕 There are two electoral wards (East and West). Their joint population at the above census was 8,218.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Braunton East ward 2011 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Braunton West ward 2011 )〕 Within the parish is the fertile, low-lying Braunton Great Field, which adjoins the undulating Braunton Burrows, the Core Area in North Devon Biosphere Reserve, the largest psammosere (sand dune system) in England. It confronts the Atlantic Ocean at the west of the parish at the large beach of Saunton Sands, one of the South West's international-standard surfing beaches.
==Toponymy==
''Braunton'' is derived from the two Old English elements: ''brōm'', meaning broom shrub, and ''tūn'', meaning "farmstead" or "settlement". It thus signifies: "farmstead where broom grows". The name is recorded in the ''Domesday Book'' of 1086 as ''BRANTONE''.〔Thorn & Thorn, part 1, 1,5〕
