Pick up the Tarka Trail from as near as Meeth (3.3 miles from The Cabin) and continue down as far as Instow. Brilliant for both walking and cycling.

Ignore the map...its outside our front door!. This is a 50 mile car-free route popular with hikers, bicyclers and runners. If you turn left its 25 miles into mid-Devon. Just a 10 min walk this way you will find a beautiful marshland nature reservation alongside the river and further up a wonderful view from the old iron bridge. If you turn right its 25 miles towards Barnstaple and beyond. Win - Win! You will find a railway cafe every 4/ 5 miles along this route the whole way. [Most close about 4pm]. If you fancy renting a bike head left and walk 5 mins - you will see the bike hire place to your right - reasonable and easy to do.

A great way to get around on your bikes, you can join the Tarka Trail in many places and head toward the seaside village of Instow and carry on towards Yelland Fremington and to the historic town of Barnstaple
