ブラットン・フレミングでののおすすめツーリングルート

the old viaduct

Beautiful little station, viaduct and mill visitor hub with wonderful model of the railway.

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 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.

From Seven Brethren to Rock Park.

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.

Chelfham Viaduct was built during the period 1896-97. It spans the Stoke Rivers valley on the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway. Unlike other similar viaduct's which were demolished after the railway was closed, Chelfham has remained due to a school and other buildings at its base making it too expensive to dismantle. There are long term plans to reopen the railway line and the viaduct enjoyed extensive restoration in 2000 as part of this project.
