The Taw is a river about 70 kilometres long that flows from Dartmoor into the Bristol Channel in northern Devon. The tidal range is 4 to 6 metres and at low tide extensive sandbanks are exposed between Barnstaple and the estuary. A wonderful natural spectacle.

Along the entire course of the river, in the riverbed and on the adjacent meadows, there are an incredible number of different birds to observe, including Canada gooses, lapwings, sandpipers, herons and falcons.

The Tarka Trail leads to Braunton along the former railway line. Right on the roundabout is the Quay Café with plenty of seating inside and outside.

welcome refreshment stop

A great little village with an excellent pub, a couple of welcoming cafés and a shop. It's a great pit stop on a run. The six-arch stone bridge which spans the river Barle is about 100 years old.

Moderate trail for everyone to explore and enjoy

Tucked away in the heart of Exmoor you’ll find the picturesque moorland village of Withypool. Whether it’s just a short gentle walk or trekking for the whole day, Exmoor has one of England’s most beautiful landscapes for walking. Withypool is set in the heart of Exmoor and is surrounded by walks all over the moors, along the River Barle to Landacre Bridge or Tarr Steps.

Cute little Exmoor village. The pub (The Exmoor Inn) is very nice and serves excellent food although be warned that lunch is only served until 3pm if you're running as late as we were. The river running through Simonsbath has many spots suitable for a wild dip and many are mentioned on https://www.wildswimming.co.uk/.
