Discover North Devon’s hidden byways with the Charity Car Tour 2026

Automobiles of all types are welcome to join the annual Charity Car Tour hosted by Braunton Caen Rotary this April.

The event will take drivers and their navigators on a mystery tour around some of North Devon’s more scenic byways and back roads while raising money for Children’s Hospice South West.

Cars of all types can join in the fun, setting off from the Williams Arms in Braunton on Sunday, April 19 at 10am following an 8.30am snack for an 80-mile tour around some of the Region’s less well-known roads.

The day will start with a breakfast roll and coffee, finishing at an as-yet-undisclosed location with a cream tea for driver and navigator.

The popular event always attracts a range of cars from the latest electric vehicles to vintage models and everything in between.

A detailed route and rally plaque are provided along with quiz questions about things that can be seen along the way. A prize will be given to the crew with the most correct answers and a raffle will be drawn at the end to raise more funds for the hospice.

Drivers and navigators can expect plenty of camaraderie and laughs, plus the opportunity to discover country roads and hidden areas of North Devon they have never seen before!
