Great place to stop for coffee

The Tunnel Beaches have been closed since 2025 and are no longer accessible or open!

This is a challenging climb with a 20% gradient. It's a test for any cyclist and demands strength and stamina. If descending, keep control with brakes and be cautious around any bends.

An unusual sight but well worth a call in

The Tunnel Beaches in Ilfracombe are a historic bathing destination on the north coast of England, dating back to the Victorian era. The beaches were made accessible in the 1820s through tunnels dug into the rock to provide access to secluded bathing coves. The Tunnel Beaches were originally designed as separate bathing areas for men and women, providing Victorian visitors with sheltered and private seaside bathing spots. These beaches became particularly popular for their tidal pools, which remain to this day. Entry costs approximately £3 per person.

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.
