ピルトンウェストのおすすめツーリングルート

Fremington Quay, located along the Tarka Trail, offers stunning panoramic views of the River Taw. Once a bustling port handling goods from across the globe, it is now a perfect spot to begin your journey or take a well-deserved rest. The old railway line, originally built for transporting goods, now forms part of the scenic Tarka Trail.

The restaurant (Smugglers) is a little gem garlic butter lobster and the also let dogs in provided the fit under the tables very reasonable prices as well £35 for a full lobster

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.

There is a logbook in a wooden box at the side of the path where walkers can record their bird sightings. Cards with pictures of birds and their names help with identification.

Lovely little harbour with colourful boats and some nice pubs around! Mind the black & white grumpy cat! 🐱

Without a doubt the true center of the town, it is absolutely pulsating here. Lots of places to stop for refreshments, The excursions to the bird island of Lundy also start here. It's interesting that people are still working hard in this port. We really enjoyed seeing so much!
