Queen Anne's Walk (formerly The Mercantile Exchange) is a grade 1 listed building in the town of Barnstaple, North Devon, completed in 1713 as a meeting place for the town's merchants. It is believed to have been designed by the architect William Talman, on the basis of its similarity to his work at the Hall in Drayton, Northamptonshire.[1] It was promoted and financed by the thirteen members of the Corporation of Barnstaple whose armorials are sculpted on and above the parapet

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 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.

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.
