Square good for coffee stop

Stop just before climbing through Abbeyford woods on the Atlantic coast route.

Lovely cafe just off the main road, with outside space and seating right next to the pavement. Table service, proper food, and cycle friendly.

South Molton is a market town centred round a market square. It was a major part of the UK's wool trade and markets still thrive twice a week, although no longer just the domain of wool. There are plenty of cafes in South Molton for mid-ride nourishment

The impressive ruins of Okehampton Castle, Devon’s largest, stand tall on a wooded spur above the River Okement. Built soon after the Norman Conquest as a motte and bailey, it was converted into a lavish residence in the 14th century by Hugh Courtenay, Earl of Devon. After the last Courtenay owner fell foul of Henry VIII in 1539, the castle collapsed into ruins. These days, you can wander around the castle and enjoy a riverside picnic area and beautiful woodland that is rich in flora and fauna.

Flowing through Devon from near Meddon to the Bristol Channel, the River Torridge is the perfect place to cycle. Following the traffic-free Tarka Trail alongside the river, you pass many quaint bridges as you go. It's a really beautiful place to ride.

Okehampton Castle is a medieval castle dating back to the 11th century. The castle was built by Baldwin FitzGilbert after a revolt against Norman rule. By the 19th century, the castle was ruined. Nonetheless, it features in many paintings by artists such as J.M.W. Turner. T oday, the castle is run by English Heritage. You can visit the castle from 10am - 5pm. Tickets cost £5.40.
