20의 치틀햄프턴가지 명소 & 주요 장소

the old viaduct

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

Along the entire course of the river, in the riverbed and on the adjacent meadows, there are an incredible number of different birds to observe, including Canada gooses, lapwings, sandpipers, herons and falcons.

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.

A flat easy ride with stunning scenery and plenty of wildlife to spot along the way

Nice place to pause for a minute and look out on to the estuary. You can see a variety of birds on occasion.

Avoid at rush hour as cars fill the whole bridge. Great cycle trail on way into Barnstaple though!
