How stunning is this view?! This is the Aveton Gifford Tidal Road which connects the village to Bigbury-on-sea, which has a fabulous beach and access to Burgh Island.
π Running along the River Avon estuary, the road completely submerges during high tide making it impassable.
πͺΆ But if you time it right you'll have a glorious drive along the mud flats; home to millions of microscopic invertebrates and worms which are loved by a vast array of wintering waders, wildfowl, kingfishers, egrets, and the occasional European otter.
πAveton Gifford is a 20-minute drive from The Granary - and don't worry - the tidal road isn't the only way to get to Bigbury! If it's high tide, continue on the A379 through Aveton Gifford and before you get to Modbury, turn left onto the B3392 to Bigbury-on-sea.
