Mostly notable for the ship which ran aground off its' coast, and the cargo of BMW motorcycles that were washed ashore! You can just see the remains of it in the distance in this picture.
Branscombe is one of the prettiest villages in the region, with the streets of small thatched and traditional cottages that form the village running down the hill towards the shingle beach below - the beach itself is in a lovely setting with either side backed by steep limestone cliffs. Within Branscombe there is a group of three National Trust properties, all now restored and each with its own particular charm: a traditional bakery complete with centuries-old equipment and paraphernalia (also now with tea shop); the Manor Mill with a functioning water mill; and an unusual old thatched forge.
