The
Fullabrook Down Wind Farm,
|
| This 66 MW wind farm is now built on the hills in the area between Barnstaple and Braunton in the south, and Ilfracombe in the north. It is visible from the Unesco Heritage site of Braunton Burrows, from the famous landmark cliffs of Baggy Point near Croyde, from the Tarka Trail in the Taw Estuary, and from another landmark hill known as Codden Hill to the south of Barnstaple. It is also visible from Bideford New Bridge, Appledore, High Bickington, many parts of the South West Coast path in Bideford Bay, such as Buck's Cross, and even Dartmoor in the south of Devon. |
