Fremington Quay Cafe, and the bike hire centre only 200m away from here

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 Tarka Trail leads to Braunton along the former railway line. Right on the roundabout is the Quay Café with plenty of seating inside and outside.

Marine Drive is a beautiful bridleway with views of Woolacombe sand dunes and beach along its length. There is a car park and public toilets at the start of the traffic free section. The wide and hard packed gravel surface, plus its flatness makes it an accessible way to enjoy the wonder of Woolacombe Sands.

Combesgate Beach is just north of Woolacombe Beach and is much quieter and a lot smaller in comparison. Check the tides if you are thinking of visiting as there is only a small bay at high tide. Low tide reveals some lovely rockpools and a much bigger expanse of sand.

Scenic off road stretch with good compact gravel

You can take the road between Woolacombe and Putsborough but a much more scenic option is this bridleway, part of the National Cycling Route 278.

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.
