It's a bridge over troubled waters

These little lanes are just magic! Take care when going around corners, the sight lines aren’t great because of the high hedgerows.

Bacon sandwiches, tasty coffee, homemade cakes, Tacos on the weekend

A wonderful packhorse bridge, Beckford Bridge spans the River Yarty in the Blackdown Hills AONB to the north west of Axminster. Made from local rubble stone, this Grade II-listed span is in remarkably good condition, thanks to a modern bridge taking traffic. You can walk over the old bridge although it's best admired from the new one.

Built during the 18th century, New Shute House sits in the grounds of the original, 14th-century Shute House. Considered old fashioned, the original house was partially knocked down by Sir William Pole and this property was built in a more modern, Palladian style. The house is private but a lane passes right by it, allowing you to admire its architecture.

Rocks not gravel. Challenging!

Musbury filling station has saved me on so many rides.

I won't try and bluff: this is a tricky climb, and for most will likely be a push! The bridleway starts at the River Yarty by the quaint packhorse bridge and rises steeply up the valley side, with some rocky double track to contend with too. It can get pretty wet after rainfall, which exacerbates the challenge! You'll breathe a sigh of relief when you reach the house at the top and rejoin tarmac, although looking back across the valley and the green fields of cows is pretty rewarding for the mega effort.

The bridge is currently under reconstruction, although you can still take the gorgeous old packhorse bridge by bike or foot.

Massive cake, Good coffee well worth a visit

An Iron Age hillfort, Musbury Castle occupies a very well chosen position. Standing on its summit, you’ll see the village of Musbury lying below with the Axe Valley flowing out beyond, all the way to Seaton. The English Channel glitters in the distance with Beer Head’s chalk cliffs on the horizon. This is one of the many fantastic viewpoints on the East Devon Way and can be reached easily from several directions on local footpaths.

Britain’s only remaining traditional oak bark tannery, this impressive building sits on a Roman site and has been in use as a tannery ever since. Here, the hides are soaked for a year in huge pits before being sold to create high quality leather products. Out of the way in this East Devon village, without knowing the tannery was here, you could easily walk right past this historic building and business.

Fabulous cafe serving great quality food. Had a top quality cream tea here on a very hot day.
