The history of Velator Quay in Braunton is closely linked to the economic development of the area. The port was established in the 19th century and served as a major transshipment point for goods transported via the River Taw. It played a central role in the agricultural community of Braunton, facilitating the export of grain, lime, coal and other goods.
In its heyday, Velator Quay was a busy port with ships regularly docking to load goods for the regional market and further afield. However, the Quay's importance declined with the advent of the railway and modern transport in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which eventually led to a decline in commercial activity. Today, Velator Quay is a tranquil spot and a popular destination for walkers and nature lovers.
