The Tarka Trail - An Introduction

The Tarka Trail is in its entirety a 180 mile figure of eight loop featuring roads, footpaths, bridleways and cycleways. The most popular part of the route is the 31-mile section along disused railway lines between Braunton and Meeth which breaks down conveniently into 4 separate sections. Each section (or combination of sections) makes an interesting walk or cycle – all flat ground along the route of a disused railway line.
