Welcome to deepest, darkest Devon! #Instow #TarkaTrail
The Eurasian curlew is Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List with a decreasing population trend. Causes of its decline include factors such as moorland and marsh loss, high predation rates on chicks and eggs, climate change and more. It is the largest wading bird in Europe. It is native to large ranges of Europe, Asia, and Africa. They are migratory and are found on wetlands and estuaries in the winter and moorland in the summer. The species consumes small invertebrates.
@alan678.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay #WingsOverWater I was (personally) very happy to get this #photograph at the beginning of last year of a #curlew flying over water along the #TarkaTrail #Devon #NorthDevon. #Photography #birds #bird #ukbirding πͺΆ
A picture of blue skies, with light, wispy clouds, over the Bristol Channel, with Wales visible on the horizon, in hazy blue. In the foreground there is green fields, with some trees on the edges.
Hello Wales, earlier today, I was waving at you

Far too heavy for 13% climbs but got up somehow to Meeth and the start of the #TarkaTrail. Lovely trail so far but typically part is shut later. Bet the diversion has chevron climbs!
If you're looking for a traffic-free cycle route that includes stunning beaches, plenty cafΓ© stops, is safe for kids, and with varied views, then the Tarka Trail is what you want.
If you've never cycle the #TarkaTrail in north #Devon, then you're missing out:

If you're in the UK, and you've never cycled the #TarkaTrail, you're really losing out!
What's even better is you can get to the start by train (and take your bike!)

Is the #TarkaTrail better than the #CamelTrail? I'd like your opinion
If you've never cycled either, you're losing out, but the embedded videos in these 2 route guides allow you to see what each trail is like. Go have a look!

Updated my #TarkaTrail route guide with the video of the route, so go have a look.
The Tarka Trail is a far better route than the Camel Trail, and if you've not cycled it, you're losing out! #Cycling #NorthDevon #WillCycle

Day 2 of the #DevonCoasttoCoast. Here's a highlight from yesterday: the #TarkaTrail #NCN3 #NationalCycleNetwork #cycling #UKcycling #staycation
A little gem, near #Torrington #NorthDevon on the #Tarkatrail π€©π

The aqueduct for the Rolle or Torridge Canal at Beam House, photographed from the Tarka Trail cycleway - itself the old railway line from Bideford to Great Torrington. This unique canal, completed in 1827, had a sea lock and inclined plane. In 1871 the canal was closed and much of the land used to build the railway, which closed in 1965 with the Beeching cuts.
Rolle Aqueduct drawn in the 1830s. See https://www.rollecanalsociety.org/beam-aqueduct.html Notice the sharp bend that canal barges had to turn.
Beam #Aqueduct photographed from the #TarkaTrail near #Torrington, #Devon. The aqueduct is famous for featuring as 'canal bridge' in Henry Williamson's 'Tarka the Otter'. Otters can still be seen in the #Torridge. Today the aqueduct is a roadway for #BeamHouse #photography #landscapephotography
A lovely morning walk up the Tarka Trail and back home for coffee βοΈπ§
