Part of the Tarka Trail

Perfectly preserved bridge with great view all around

Great food and coffee after the train up to start us off

Great view out to sea.

Stop for a Hockings ice cream on the beach.

Wasn’t open at all on 9/7/21

Pretty old station to stop for food & drink available.

Flat and easy to ride trail, we picked it up in Barnstaple and followed to Bideford. I am sure there are lovely views across the Estuary however we didn't get to enjoy them as there was a low sea mist the day we rode! Some nice little cafe stops along the way at old stations.

Best place in North Devon for bike selection and bike service . Helped me set up my new Wahoo Bike computer - nothing too much for these people. Taw Velo Cycle groups organised from here and an annual charity ride called the 'Smugglers ' which is a grand day with BBQ on finish line.

Great shop with a huge selection of bikes of all kinds and for all ages as well as clothes and accessories. Great cafe attached which serves a very good coffe. Friendly and helpful staff to boot, thoroughly recommended!

Great place with really helpfull and friendly staff. Highly recomended.

St Michael's is a Grade II-listed church that is steeped in history. The earliest record of a church on the site is 1259 and the oldest surviving parts of the building date to the 13th or 14th century. In February 1646, the bell tower was blown up during the Battle of Torrington in the First English Civil War. The Royalists, who held the town, had stored more than 80 barrels of gunpowder in the church. As the Roundheads captured the town, they shut prisoners in the church and the powder was unwittingly detonated, resulting in many deaths.

Bike shop with attached cafe with lots of seating inside & out and indoor bike storage.

The Tarka trail along the river taw is a flat disused railway line running from Braunton on the north shore to Bideford on the Torridge, it then continues through Torrington and on to Meeth. Flat and steady, well-surfaced path for riding, running, walking etc.

270 feet (82 m) long and 22 feet (6.7 m) wide, the Beam Aqueduct is an impressive structure that carries the Rolle Canal over the River Torridge. The aqueduct, with its five stone arches, was completed in 1827. Since the closure of the canal, the aqueduct has been used as a bridge to Beam House Estate.

Flowing 48 miles (76 km) through the heart of Devon, the River Torridge forms a loop as it meanders from Meddon to the Bristol Channel. The river is known for its bridges and aqueducts. It was also made famous by Henry William's book 'Tarka the Otter', who called the river his home. Today, the river is home to many species of wildlife and fish, such as salmon, sea trout and brown trout.

Pretty snack stop.

The sound of rushing water is evocative and relaxing on the warmest of days, washing any fatigue downstream.

A good place to stop for a bowl of porridge.
