The Tarka Trail is a 180 mile figure-of-eight walk and partial cycling route in north Devon based around Barnstaple; a stretch of the route utilises the Tarka Line railway. The Trail follows the route taken by Tarka the Otter in the book of that name. The route is comprehensively waymarked in most places.
Gorgeous relaxing stayYet another lovely time at Lobhill Farmhouse. We stayed in the beautiful Lew Valley Lodge again. This has everything you need. Beds are super comfy and the showers are lovely. The view though from the kitchen and living area is amazing and you instantly relax as soon as you see this. Jane is the best host, makes a lovely breakfast and the homemade fudge to greet you after a long journey is the icing on the cake. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thanks for another great stay x
