ビーフォードでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Great cafe in a good cycling area, with loads of outside space for big groups.

A slot in the side of the canal were used to hold a stop board which was used to isolate a stretch of the canal that was leaking, to allow repairs to be made.

The roving bridge used to carry the driveway to Beam House, and was used by horses to cross over the canal to the towpath on the other side without unhitching. The bridge underwent restoration in 2000 by Lord Clinton.

Stunning views across the River Torridge. Fairly easy walking with many good paths. Plenty of civil war history to absorb, and why not try the Torrington 1646 tea rooms for refreshments. Close to the Tarka Trail, part of the old steam railway line and also Henry Williamson's Tarka the otter's trail. More excellent refreshments at the Puffing Billy cafe.

Spectacular views across the valley.

Lovely cafe in old station on the NCN27

Just south of the town on the edge of Torrington Common, there are glorious views across to the farmland near Taddiport. There are benches up here and a car park so it makes a great place to start and finish a run. Plus plenty of facilities in Great Torrington itself. If you're coming up from the river its a steep climb up but the views are worth it.

Today, all that remains of Petrockstow station is a platform. It was originally built to serve the clay pits and quarries in the area, it then went on to be used as part of the local Light Railway. Its use as a railway station ended with the Beeching Cuts but it lives on as part of the Tarka Trail – a long-distance foot and cycle path.
