Castle Hill was built in 1730 by the Fortescue family and reconstructed following a large fire in 1934. It was caused by the boiler for the newly installed central heating and tragically killed both the housekeeper and a maid. On top of the hill behind the house is Sham Castle. The family still live on the estate which is now also used as a wedding and conference venue and the gardens are open to the public.

This is an amazing ridge (called ridge RD funilly enough) which, on good days, you can see all the way to Dartmoor (BIG spikyish ridge to SW), Rackenford & Knowstone moor (S on next ridge over) and what I think may be the Blackdowns (Bigish ridge to the SE). There are usually ponies, sheep and cows, the latter of which sit in the road. There are also sometimes deer. The ridge its self is relatively flat, undulating a bit more to the west, so can be quite nice to ride. Just be aware since most ways up to the ridge are horrible hills!

Rock Park is a lovely park near the centre of Barnstaple, nice cycle track along and over the river.

Avoid at rush hour as cars fill the whole bridge. Great cycle trail on way into Barnstaple though!
