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.

Large flocks of starlings can be seen in late summer after riding under the bridge. The bridge offers great views along Bideford Quay and on the Torridge Bridge.

Steps at Eastern end.

From Seven Brethren to Rock Park.

Tarka is not safe. Loose dogs thanks to NDDC. A massive accident waiting to happen. I use my bell, but the utter lack of common sense of people: Hard of hearing walker,keep over to the left then, not rocket science. The bike hire companies will even hire to peole with dogs on leads or loose next to them. There is one hire place who's dog runs loose on the trail, when it's not begging at coffee table. I live right next to the trail, its a nightmare of arrogant stupid people who don't care a damn about safety. 90% of riders have a bell, makes no difference.

Use your bell loud and clear on the TarkaTrail as some walkers like me are deaf, we can all live together but remember us please

From this vantage point you can see Bideford and Bideford Bridge as you look over the River Torridge. Bideford has plenty of cafes, restaurants, pubs, hotels, B&Bs for a pit stop, meal stop or overnight break.

Castle Hill was built in 1730 by the Fortescue family and reconstructed following a large fire in 1934. It was caused by the boiler for the newly installed central heating and tragically killed both the housekeeper and a maid. On top of the hill behind the house is Sham Castle. The family still live on the estate which is now also used as a wedding and conference venue and the gardens are open to the public.
