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.

One of the many pebble beaches situated along this part of the coast with a nice waterfall.

This building is a great place to stop and you can even camp here overnight, which is what we did. You can close the barn doors but there is a large window on the side of the building without any glass. However, it wasn't windy as it’s sheltered by a lot of trees. Even though it rained really hard, we didn't get any rain coming through either. The roof is made of tin so hearing the raindrops coming down was really peaceful. There is a pub about a mile up the hill, which is a good place to have food and a few beers before settling down. This hut is situated on the coastal path; it is an absolute gem.
