The history of Velator Quay in Braunton is closely linked to the economic development of the area. The port was established in the 19th century and served as a major transshipment point for goods transported via the River Taw. It played a central role in the agricultural community of Braunton, facilitating the export of grain, lime, coal and other goods. In its heyday, Velator Quay was a busy port with ships regularly docking to load goods for the regional market and further afield. However, the Quay's importance declined with the advent of the railway and modern transport in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which eventually led to a decline in commercial activity. Today, Velator Quay is a tranquil spot and a popular destination for walkers and nature lovers.

Tarka is not safe. Loose dogs thanks to NDDC. A massive accident waiting to happen. I use my bell, but the utter lack of common sense of people: Hard of hearing walker,keep over to the left then, not rocket science. The bike hire companies will even hire to peole with dogs on leads or loose next to them. There is one hire place who's dog runs loose on the trail, when it's not begging at coffee table. I live right next to the trail, its a nightmare of arrogant stupid people who don't care a damn about safety. 90% of riders have a bell, makes no difference.

Use your bell loud and clear on the TarkaTrail as some walkers like me are deaf, we can all live together but remember us please

The Tarka Trail is England's longest traffic free cycling and walking route. It stretches for just over 30 miles from Braunton to Meeth via Barnstaple. The trail follows a disused railway line and you will find many pubs and cafes to refuel, rehydrate and rest weary legs. It is named after Tarka the Otter, from the 1927 book of the same name by Henry Williamson. Keep an eye out for sculptures along the route as it is also one of Sustrans Art Trails.

Nice route by the river with a good surface, ideal for low impact bike touring

A flat easy ride with stunning scenery and plenty of wildlife to spot along the way

Enjoy
