Ignore the out dated previous post. Okehampton station now has a regular train service and is an incredible gateway to some of the most accessible and stunning rides in the country (e.g. to Barnstaple and Plymouth) allowing you to complete your adventures by train. Don't miss.....

Once an important junction, Okehampton station now languishes in nostalgia with services suspended and an uncertain future. Opened in the 19th century, the station served Exeter, Bude, Padstow and Plymouth, as well as Meldon quarry. Suffering in the Beeching Cuts, Okehampton retained some trains thanks to the quarry freight, but eventually only heritage trains ran during the summer. Now, the station lies quiet but is home to a youth hostel. It's on the edge on multiple hiking and cycling routes, and still draws visitors.

These woods in Okehampton have miles of nice cycling and walking trails to try. Abbeyford Woods is located just north of the town next to the River Okement. There's a good sized car park just off the country lane which runs through the centre of the woods. Alternatively you could walk to the woods along the Tarka Trail from Okehampton. It's about a one mile walk from the centre of the town. In the woods you will find wonderful Douglas Fir trees and beech trees. Look out for wildlife including roe or red deer, redstart, pied flycatcher, nightjar and buzzard. It's a lovely place for a shady afternoon stroll or for mountain bikers looking for some trails in Devon. The Tarka Trail runs through the woods so you can continue along this path to extend your exercise. You can also pick up the Granite Way in Okehampton which is a great cycling and walking trail along a disused railway line.

Nestled amongst green Devonshire countryside, Hatherleigh is a sleepy rural town along the Coast to Coast route. With local amenities such as a village shop, post office and two pubs, the town is a good place for a rest stop. The town is also a great base camp from which to explore Dartmoor National Park.
