The Braunton Canal is a cut made to straighten the course of the upper section of the River Caen known as Braunton Pill and to provide a new quay for the village of Braunton in North Devon England. It crosses an area known as Braunton Marsh which was the subject of Enclosure Acts in the early 19th Century and was the only one of several schemes which was actually constructed.
