ミース周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ6

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.

There are a few sculptures along the Tarka Trail and this one is of Tarka the Otter himself. It has a stunning mosiac and a concave body. Standing peacefully at the side of the path, it can come as quite a surprise if you're daydreaming.

Really nice reserve with a good selection of walks, the river is spectacular in autumn. There is lots of wildlife to be seen and a well-stocked birding hide.

Halsdon Nature Reserve is a serene woodland set around the River Torridge. You can enjoy some great riverside, meadow and woodland walking here. Furthermore, it's a superb place to spot otters, kingfishers, fungi and bluebells.

Nestled amongst green Devonshire countryside, Hatherleigh is a sleepy rural town along the Coast to Coast route. With local amenities such as a village shop, post office and two pubs, the town is a good place for a rest stop. The town is also a great base camp from which to explore Dartmoor National Park.

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.

The beauty doesn't stop coming on this tour.
